Miracle Cottage

Miracle Cottage is a story that will make one weep, both in sadness and in joy. It is the story of how Arlene went on with her life after her husband's death from lung cancer. She did not let her grief and pain of loss take over her life, but instead she proceeded to carry out the dream of building the cottage she and Fred had planned. And she built the cottage by herself, with God's love and Fred's memory. Now isn't that an inspiration to all of us? Arlene Webster was my mother-in-law and her life was a great inspiration to me. I miss her still, miss our great conversations, her love and her wisdom. I miss her columns in the Destin Log and other newspapers. I encouraged my wife to put together the story of Miracle Cottage and it took over a year to go through all of the writings, diaries, magazine articles, newspaper articles and all the notes and receipts left from building, but the end result is truly a beautiful, heart-warming story.
