Proof of Heaven: Read it!

My friend, M.C. Hackett, wrote a book, and it rocks.
First, I will talk about the book.
It's called Proof Of Heaven.
You will cry.  You will smile. You will hug your kids. You will call your brother.
As a mom, and as someone who was a relatively sickly kid at points, I HATE books about sick kids.
I hate movies about sick kids. It just makes me really uneasy.
This is a book about a sick kid. But not like the others.
I enjoyed this one. I was really invested in the characters. Each one. I loved all 4 of them. They were all flawed, even little Colm, sort of, but aren't we all? That's what I liked about them. No one was perfect.

POH is about the mom, and the sweet boy, and the doctor, and the brother. It's about trust. It's about hope. And Faith. And familial love.
And sticking with people even though they screw up. Or don't think like you.
It's about getting over yourself. About forgiving yourself. About getting over your shit and moving on.
At least that's what I got from it.
It made me think about the challenges we all have as parents to get out of our own comfort zones in order to provide the best for our kids. In my case it's learning to parent a kid with sensory issues a little differently than my "normal" child. But this book helped give me perspective. It really did. We all bring our own crap into life, and that's fine. We just have to let go sometimes and believe. I think that's what this book is saying.
And I really enjoyed it.
I'm not a reviewer, so I don't have to go into the plot.
So get the damn book. It's really good.
Nuff said.

Now, about the author.
Mary is my friend.
I dare say we are better friends now than we were in college. Thank you, Facebook.
She has not always had it easy. But she is one tough, smart cookie.  She's not only a survivor, to survive is a quality, but to thrive in adversity is a virtue. Mary is a thriver. She is one Hell of a mom to two very cool kids, one who is remarkably similar to my precious Jonny. She is smart, and funny, really, really strong, and she deserves success. 
So buy the book, please.
