Nearly four years ago, in March, my Mom passed away. This is a little book about how that happened to me, including some original artwork by me and an essay on Cancer by Mom.
It’s intended to be a story and a way to remember someone who was very important to me, but it also aspires to help anyone dealing with death or cancer. If you are one of those people, you are not alone.
The book is free for any who would like to read it. Please feel free to pass it around to anyone via email or by linking to this page.
Mom’s favorite charity organization was the Revlon Run Walk for Women. Please consider making a donation to them, if you like, or to any other charity of your own choosing.
Enjoy!

Jim, I was so glad to read this. It has helped me fill in some of the gaps. Love the picture, and when I saw the asparagus, I said to myself that is SO Pat. ~Noele

You have a way with the words.

Hello and welcome, friend! My name is Jim and this is my blog, constructed entirely of dreams and opinions. My lawyer said that a disclaimer would be a good idea, but he didn't include any jokes to go with it. Damned if I can think of any either.
