It all began with a heartbreaking diagnosis. The year that followed brought a whirlwind of emotions, meaningful insight, and unforeseen strength to press forward. Finally, gentle peace was uncovered while finding the words to give voice to seemingly inexpressible thoughts. This book is based on a true story, recounting one man’s experience during the last year of his life while battling acute myelogenous leukemia. The story, though gentle in its presentation, offers a profound message about the power of unconditional love that will touch the hearts of many.
