About this ebook

In the quiet aftermath of goodbye, one simple moment stirs a lifetime of memory.

The Empty Spot is a true short story about what remains when everything else is gone — and the unexpected ways love endures through loss. With tender honesty and vivid detail, it captures the ache of letting go and the quiet beauty of what stays with us.

A moving reflection for anyone who has ever stood still in a familiar place and felt the weight of both grief and grace.

Ratings and reviews

Reading this book took me right back to when my father passed and having to clean out his house empty the drawers on his dresser clear out his tool shed watch most of his furniture carried away I tried to Memorize each room, I wanted to burn them into my memory because this was a part of my life that had ended, and I didn’t want to but life changes and with God’s help we make it through this book brought back so many memories. It was nice to know. I wasn’t the only one feeling these things.
