From Laura’s mother, Leona
How careless we are with the ones we love…
How careless we are with love…
From Laura’s brother Matthew,
on the first anniversary of her death
Those who die young,
die because they are angels too pure for this world.
I will never understand why you left us so early
but I know I will see you again one day
in a place free of the unhappiness of this world.
From Laura’s stepfather, William (Dad)
Your once tormented soul
rests in peace.
Hard as it is,
we understand and accept
what you were driven to do.
From Laura
July 2014. Doha, Qatar.
So, my journey began with a man…Mubarak…
A man who opened me up to a world,
maybe an awakening,
that made me question everything in this world.
I feel like he has turned my life upside down,
for I feel confused, lost yet found,
but don’t know where to start.
Where your beliefs, religion, life, the world is questioned.
What is truelly right, and what is wrong?
Rules.
What are they?
To guide us or, to control us?
To live by them or to live by our own truth.
My soul is connected to him, yet I am not sure he is the devil himself,
or my angel and light,
as clashes between dark and light.
They say it is within the heart that truth and treasures lie,
yet to follow your heart can be your biggest downfall.
Love is truth,
yet it is also deceit and betrayal!!!

From page 43, 19 December 2009. Zighy Bay, Oman.
“Your Eyes…
I have lost myself in them yet something real I have found…
deep.
They are going on for miles on end
on and on.
Will I find my way back
or will I be lost forever?”
*******
From page 51, March 2010, Dubai
“I am not strong enough to hold on anymore!!!
Your love I feel inside me
and in my heart you will always be
but sometimes to love someone enough
is to know when to let them go!!!”
*******
An extract from page 60, 27 April 2010, Dubai.
“And the truth is that the darkness I feel
is not about me, but about us.
It is the darkness that surrounds you
which brings out the stillness in me
and awakens me.”
*******
Page 66, 3 June 2010, Saudi Arabia. Laura speaking about Dubai.
“Follow your heart
so I follow my heart
it swirls with energy when it thinks of being back with you.
Like adrenaline that rushes through me
nudging and pushing me to go back and be reunited once again!
Dubai, I love you, but fear keeps me from you!!!”

From Laura’s Voice Whispers from an Angel, page 22, 4 October 2009. I think it is beautiful. She was at the Royal Court of Bahrain at the time.
“The colours of the notes of a piano are black and white
that play the tunes of a rainbow to your soul.”
