Publisher's Synopsis
Anyone fighting pediatric cancer or other long term illness can request a free copy of this book from the author by emailing [email protected] As I look back at this time in our life when our son was diagnosed with cancer, I realize that God gave us the most precious gift of our daughter. He gave us someone who would make the hardships easier by giving us laughter, joy, and an outlet from the world of cancer. However, instead of realizing this and embracing her for the gift she was, we protected her. We put her on a pedestal to be adored and loved, not as a participant. After 10 years of treatment, we have come to the conclusion this was not the best for her or our family. In this book, I discuss the things I wish I had known at the beginning of this journey. I will address each of our misconceptions and give some examples of how I could have done this in a way to allow her to be a stronger, loving, empathetic, caring person.
