there were many times throughout this book
that I thought...
why am I reading this?
why am I going to put myself through this?
I'm not sure that I want to
think
about stuff like this...
but in the end,
I was glad that I stuck with it.

it was sad and obviously,
right from page one,
I felt like I knew what was coming
(given the title of the book)
but the honesty pulled me in and kept me reading.

such a beautiful and moving tribute
to what sounds like an extraordinary woman
and a glimpse into the relationship
between a mom and her son...
a son and his dying mom...
it was interesting and heartfelt and
definitely worth picking up...
just be forewarned that
you may end up crying at some point
in the breakroom if you read it on lunch
while you are at work...{taken from true experience}
