It is difficult for any parent to have a sick child; to add the words “life-threatening” to the phrase adds an almost unbearable element. Every year, thousands of children in Canada are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. As a parent of one of those children, the author takes you on a heartfelt journey through the lessons learned from dealing with a teen’s diagnosis of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. This book captures a parent’s pain but, more than that, it captures a teenager’s courage. No longer a child and not yet an adult, he is called upon to walk down long hospital corridors towards dreaded treatments. Above all else, teenagers want to be “normal” and, when cancer visits a home, that normalcy is abruptly interrupted, for everyone. With faith in a Higher Power, the author wraps her personal experiences around spiritual lessons that can help other parents dealing with an ill child. As well, the lessons she articulates are helpful in all areas of life… personal and professional. Ultimately, this is an uplifting story of faith, hope, love, and happy endings.
