Publisher's Synopsis
This is a story about Brian who suffered through a life-threatening illness. With pure determination, strength, and a donation from his wife, he overcame his illness. It tells the story of Brian's life, many struggles, and the various procedures to get him prepared for the big one he would need to live.
This is a love story about two people who were brought together by God, who revealed their true life's purpose at a time it was needed the most. The intent of this story is to inspire others to find their purpose, pray about it so it is revealed, and use it where it is needed. It tells a story of friendships, grace, mercy, giving to others, and love.
Brian was never really sick a day in his life. However, he did spend much of his young life in a hospital, watching his brother (Tim) get through a debilitating and paralyzing leg and hip disease. This may have prepared him for what he would go through much later in life. One has to wonder if that was the beginning lesson he would need to find his own strength and courage by learning and observing his young brother. His wife also spent much of her young life in a hospital, visiting her brother (Henry) who had severe asthma attacks. Was this setting her up to handle the challenges she would soon face when her husband developed a chronic and deadly illness?
There are signs all around us; some are just more aware of them than others. Sometimes, God opens our eyes to help us see clearly what we are facing and how to get through it. Prayers, encouragement, hope, and love are the most important factors when getting through a debilitating disease.
