This is a true story from a mothers point of view. Although Howard has been in remission for 20 years, I shared my experiences, challenges, frustrations and joy in this book. My feelings are genuine and real. Howard kept a journal throughout his ordeal. The journal was an integral part of this book. Tragedy can either tear families apart or bring them closer together. Since Howards cancer, my family is much closer. I am so proud of my children. Everyday I count my blessings. Family first.
