About The Author

Messages from My Hero in Heaven will capture your heart and will keep you wanting to know more about Paul, the young soldier. He was born with a gift, and after his death, he keeps on giving. The author is me, Melissa Davidson, a dedicated mom throughout his life and death.

Yes, I have always been one of those moms who work very hard to make sure their children have a roof over their heads and to make sure they can play the sports and do the activities they want to do. I have lots of friends, and most of them have helped me to sponsor my two sons in sports or to support them in other ways. I love to cook, so you can guess where Matt’s and Paul’s friends would be at dinner time. I am a cancer survivor. I had a large sarcoma tumor in my left leg. Even during my illness, I only missed a few football games, and I made sure my sons were placed on teams with their friends so they could make it to practices while I was laid up. I bulldozed through cancer.

Then, when I divorced, I had extra work ahead of me. It was tiring at times to make sure we ate dinner early and head off to hockey or football, or sometimes both in the same night, but I loved every minute of it. We took our summer vacations in Door County, Wisconsin. And we all enjoyed our times there.

I believe God has tested me enough, but I’m prepared for anything he throws my way. There is a reason for all these tests. Losing a child has been the ultimate test. How can a mom ever prepare herself for that? God picked me up and showed me. God gave me my son back in the form of miracles, which showed me that Paul is doing well, and that Paul becoming God’s best angel was his destiny.

I intend to help God get his word across to everyone. I will help you understand God’s gifts and that we are not to be angry during his challenges. Instead, we should embrace these times with him. Granted my son was taken to heaven a few years earlier than he was supposed to go, but God wanted Paul to help us get through. Paul may not have been able to do this had he been taken years later. So this was God’s chosen time.

I have seen Paul as much now as when he was alive and hanging out with his friends. And I still tell him he needs to call Madre at least once a week!

Dedications

To my son Matthew, for just being himself.

And to my other son, Paul, who has taken heaven to new heights. You both are smart, witty, and handsome. I love you both so very much, no matter if you’re in heaven or here on earth. Mom’s love has no boundaries.

With love,

Mom

For Joe. We first met in seventh grade but saw each other only briefly until this past September. Since then, you have been with me through my triumphs and through the most tragic part of my life, always by my side.

For my brother, Steve, and my sisters, Kim, Lorna, and Lorraine, also Kevin, Christian, and Dennis who have been with me and has helped me through it all. My cousin MaryEllen, Kerry and Travis, thank you very much for your love and support. You’re a great family and I love you all.

Thank you Joe. With your magnificent singing voice and always listening to me. Your words of wisdom and believing in me with writing my book.

Thank you, Kathy, for translating everything Paul has shared with you to tell me and for answering all of my questions about Paul so I can understand better. I’m always amazed that after I ask Paul a question and if I’m understanding correctly, you just happen to call me the next day and and confirm my questions without me mentioning it to you.
