Wanting to help people in many ways is such a wonderful thing. Personally, I like to meet the families I help whenever I can, but that is not always possible. Writing my book and sharing it is another way for me to reach out and help others. By reading and sharing my words, I am by their side, whispering in their ear, standing in the sidelines watching everything they go through and guiding them through my stories. At times, I have shared that I feel I can speak for those children who cannot by knowing what they are going through since I have “been there, and done that” as well. I may not have exactly what they do, but going through the pain, agony, and the trauma of being ill is all the same. For their parents, the words I share is an understanding of what they are experiencing, as well as helping them cope with all the sadness they have with their child being so very ill. By the time they complete my story, they feel that I wrote it just for them and that they know and feel the understanding I have for their child and their family experience. When I began the writing process I was not certain how the story would actually unfold and the power it carries within the pages. How very proud I am that this book has become a coping tool for all kinds of families and their painful experiences.
