WHAT THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT

COMFORT.

We need it. Badly.

Loss is painful. Separation hurts. When a parent departs, our worlds change.

Weve known them all our lives. Weve never taken a single breath without them being present somehow.

Or perhaps we were adopted. Our parents received and loved us not because they had to, but because they wanted to. They chose us.

Maybe its a stepparent weve lost, but they embraced us as their own. They might have been more of a mom or dad to us than our birth parent was.
