  ‘From War to Eternity’ traces an extraordinary family story shaped by the forces of war, migration, and the enduring quest for identity. Sydney Doulames brings to life the journeys of her parents Anneliese, who came of age amid the ruins of postwar Germany, and Eduardo, who navigated the turbulence of wartime Philippines with determination and grace. Their separate struggles to survive hardship and loss ultimately led them across continents to find each other, forging an unlikely bond that would define generations. From the hunger and fear of a bombed-out German village to the crowded hospitals of the Pacific theater, this book illuminates how ordinary people rise to meet unthinkable challenges. When Anneliese and Eduardo build a life together, first in Guam and later in California, their marriage is tested by the scars of the past and the strains of cultural divides. Even as they face heartbreak and upheaval, their story reveals an unshakable devotion to family. With honesty and tender reflection, Sydney Doulames explores themes of love, belonging, and the ways our origins shape us. ‘From War to Eternity’ is both a tribute to her parents’ courage and a reminder that even the most fragmented histories can be outgrown into something lasting and meaningful.

  "Footprints in the Sand of Caregiving" is a compilation of a soul's reflections on its solitary walk on the shore of a lonely island of caregiving. 
  Withdrawn from my previous routines, lifestyle and social activities to focus on caregiving, I feel isolated and disconnected. In my loneliness and desperation, from the bottom of my heart, I cry to the Lord and the Lord answers me saying: "My steadfast love never ceases; my mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is my faithfulness" 
  (Lamentations 3: 22 -23). 
  What a wonderful promise of our Father God! When I am tempted to wallow in the mud of self-pity, I turn my gaze to the Lord. When I become depressed and distressed, I cling to His promise of unceasing love and mercy which are new every morning. 
  May these reflections lighten your path when you cross the dark valleys of life. May God bless you, my friend.
