Have you lived your life in a way that will have an everlasting effect on another person? Will others remember you when you pass on? Who has shown you the true meaning of friendship? Learn about the special connection between a young boy and an old mountain man and the promise of the buckeye. With her gift of storytelling, Beth Carter tenderly associates the lifespan of nature wondrous creations of the buckeye tree to that of a strong, gentle and kind man as seen through the eyes of a young boy as he navigates his own growth and life experiences. The boundaries of age and distance are overcome in the warm and loving cross-generational friendship between Levi and ole man Wiles. With the support and love of his family Levi experiences feelings of disbelief, shock, anger, sadness, confusion and pain associate with the death of his dear friend. The Promise of the Buckeye reveals a young man's realization that remembering is a path to healing. We do not have control over death and loss but we do have control over our thoughts and choices. We can choice to focus on the pain of the past or the blessings of our experiences creating everlasting memories. Gladys Wiles Lowry MA, LPC, NCC, CCMC Counselor
