About this ebook
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers for some have entertained angels unaware." - Hebrews 13:2
When his father died, Billy Johnson felt he would never lose the vicious, gnawing grief that had formed in the innermost recesses of his soul. His father had been his mentor, his adviser, his fishing buddy, his protector, and most of all, his dearest and closest friend all of his life. It was grief he felt he could never be totally free of. Then, out of nowhere, a miracle occurred!
"WOW! Every once in a while a story comes along that speaks to one's heart; even moving you to tears. Having lost my father a year ago, this was a story that, as it did for the main character, served as a spiritual catharsis. While we all experience the death of those closes to us, John Isaac Jones writes of such an experience in a poignant, yet at the same time beautiful, fashion. While the details of our experiences may differ greatly from those in the story, the author delivers is such a way that most all should be able to empathize.
That being said, and I would be remiss not to mention, I do not believe in ghosts, reincarnation, or karma which are touched upon in the story. However, the introduction does quote Hebrews 13:2 and as a born again Christian I do believe in angels and that my God works in many ways to bring comfort to his people. Perhaps the author was trying to hit the heartstrings of a audiences with differing beliefs; I simply smiled at the new-age references and saw the hand of God in the story . . . as I see it in my life." - Amazon reviewer

As William Vernon Johnson stumbled down the hospital steps and strode across the street to the hospital parking lot, he was a man walking in a daze. Some five minutes earlier, he had been told that his father had died on the operating table after suffering a massive heart attack. The information had swept over him like a shower of ice cold water and left a great cloud of depression sweeping his very soul. He had always known that his father would die at some point, but in his mind he kept putting it off year after year after year, hoping against hope that it would never really happen. Now, in August of 1972, his worst fears had been realized.
After his mother died when he was 13, his father had become his mentor, his closest friend, his best buddy, and his confidante. When he wasn’t in school, he was always with his father. They spent endless hours together on the farm, mending fences, building barns, tending to livestock, and raising crops. Until he went to college, the father and son were always together at night. Whether they were playing checkers, working on a farm implement, listening to the radio, or just reading, their nights together were always happy times.
Throughout their lives together, their single-most passion had been the fishing trips they made to the little
