A Song for Tomorrow

Tom fell in love with Alice the moment he saw her. He realises that being with her will not be easy, but she is a force of nature, a burst of sunlight in his otherwise ordinary world.

Some people might look at Alice and think she has everything, but Alice knows she is not like other women. Her life is complicated, unpredictable, difficult. Alice does not like pity. All she wants to do, has ever wanted to do, is sing.

Alice has been told not to follow her dreams. So has Tom. But when fate has already dealt a tough hand, it’s time to stop listening to everyone else and only follow their hearts.

Alice Katherine Martineau was a beautiful soul with so much ahead of her.

I guess I'd like to thank "Tom" for loving her while she was on this earth. Her friends, her parents...true love. Strangers like me who knew nothing of CF until I came across Alice and her story made me want to look it up and try to understand what all she was going through. I didn't know her, but I wish I had. 23 years ago she was called home. Thank you to Alice Peterson for writing this and letting us into a glimpse of a life lived and loved. Alice Katherine Martineau, I pray your eternity is a blessed one. See you at the river and until then, I picture you singing alongside the angels. You will never be forgotten.
