Richard Lawrence Belford is an inspirational writer whose twenty-year creative journey has allowed him to become well published; a journey that has been fueled by his genuine desire to provide faith, comfort and hope that will help bring some small measure of solace to those grieving the loss of someone dear to their heart.
His inspiring parables have been published in dozens of inspirational journals, magazines, periodicals and on numerous websites. A parable by definition is a symbolic short story that illustrates or teaches some truth, religious principle or moral lesson.
Richard has also written a bereavement book entitled; “It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later”.
Now, although this book is about loss, it’s also about the lives, and love shared by family & friends. As just one of literary millions of people who have lived, loved and experienced loss Richard has dedicated the book & written its foreword as a tribute to the memory of his father. He hopes it makes him proud.
Richard truly believes “It’s Not Goodbye, It’s See You Later” with its beautifully illustrated artwork, inspiring quotes, and its collection of inspirational parables, along with his stories behind their creation will not only stir some emotions in you that we’ve all felt, but will further inspire those who read it to always try and say, “I’ll see you later, instead of goodbye.”
The book is available world-wide on amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com in the United States and chapters.indigo.ca in Canada.
