Uneven Recollections of an Easter Past

De: Clark A Hiddleston

Narrado por: Bill Lewis

This Christian mystery explores themes of grief and redemption.

At 60 years of age, Marcel wonders about the death of his best friend on Easter when they were both twelve years old. He consults a psychologist about his uncertain memories. Two distinct timelines emerge--one which turned life in a better direction, and the other which resulted in trauma and emotional pain. Could both be true?

Experiencing unresolved feelings from the loss of Andrew to leukemia, Marcel is preoccupied with what might have been, most acutely on Easter of each year. How would his life be different if this one fact had changed?

Marcel seems to have lived two versions of himself through his teen years, young adulthood, and into retirement. Did he imagine that Andrew helped heal his family's problems, particularly his mother's mental health issues, through a series of miracles? Can he forgive her, or did he already forgive her long ago? What awaits him in heaven?

From the Author—Reaches Deep to Help the Afflicted

As the author, I vowed to write each day until this story was finished. I wanted to reach people who suffered in their youth, and for them to have moral support in overcoming their past. As stated in 1st Corinthians 12:21-22, “The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I don’t need you!’ And the head cannot say to the feet, ‘I don’t need you!’” If one member suffers, every member is afflicted with them, and all should be concerned for each other. In 1st Corinthians 9:22, Paul says, “To the weak I became weak⁠, in order to win the weak. I became all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.” I hope you can empathize with Marcel in his struggle for clarity and feel the miracle that is Jesus Christ. This story goes deep. I appreciate Bill Lewis for his candid narration.
