My name is Raine and this is my
Home Page

Please allow me to introduce myself.  I am a working mother of two sons,
JP  and Rob  ...

JP is 25 years old and has graduated from college. Rob is 22 years old and is in his third year of university.  For the first few years of their lives, I was a stay at home Mum and I treasured every moment with them. ( well, almost every moment )
For the past ten years, I have worked in the dental field.


My home page originally was only meant to be a link page to some of my favourite sites.  I also wanted to include a page dedicated to my sons and how much they have accomplished, but like most pages, it took on a life of its own.  As you will see, angels and poetry are passions of mine. Intermixed here and there, are a few romantic places to visit as well. There are links to some wonderful home pages of friends of mine and some interesting and fun spots as well.


So ... Sit back, relax and take a look around.  I hope you enjoy your stay.


Just one more thing before you start to look around.

This poem was sent to me by an amazing person - Larry.
It helps serve as a reminder when things get tough.


Hold Fast Your Dreams

Hold fast your dreams!
Within your heart
Keep one still, secret spot
Where dreams may go,
And, sheltered so,
May thrive and grow
Where doubt and fear are not.
O keep a place apart,
Within your heart,
For little dreams to go!

Think still of lovely things that are not true.
Let wish and magic work at will in you.
Be sometimes blind to sorrow. Make believe!
Forget the calm that lies
In disillusioned eyes.
Though we all know that we must die,
Yet you and I
May walk like gods and be
Even now at home in immortality.

We see so many ugly things -
Deceits and wrongs and quarrelings;
We know, alas!  we know
How quickly fade
The color in the west,
The bloom upon the flower,
The bloom upon the breast
And youth's blind hour.

Yet keep within your heart
A place apart
Where little dreams may go,
May thrive and grow.
Hold fast - hold fast your dreams!
