The Crystal Prince is a very special story to me and came about one night when my husband was very ill with chills and a fever and needed to be comforted. As I sat on the bed beside him caressing his face and hair I felt inspired to tell him a story to get his mind off his pain and discomfort so he could relax and go to sleep. My mind immediately started going through my memories of the different stories I had heard as a child or made up in the past and none of them seemed right for this situation.

Although I hadn’t had my children yet my natural mothering and nurturing instincts kicked in. My heart felt heavy with love and concern and knew this would need to be a special story just for him, a story of faith, hope and love that could encourage him to believe that he would get better soon and all would be well again. All the sudden I started speaking and the words just flowed out of me as if I had told this story a hundred times and didn’t stop until the whole story from beginning to end was delivered. I truly felt inspired and surprised at the same time and knew this wasn’t just another story but a gift from heaven with a message that I should share with the world.
