I have had this book for years to read and it never felt like the right time until now. A couple of years ago we lost my husband’s Uncle Randy to cancer. It was hard to see my hubby lose someone he loved. In reading this book I felt like Uncle Randy was talking to me through this book. He was an amazing man and so was the author of this book. To know death is staring you in the face and he kept finding the good in every day.

A lot of his wisdom is simple and you would think we would all know it but we don’t. Simple as do better, pay it forward, live as if today was your last. In today’s society we should be having seniors in high school read this book. It might help some find their way. It might help some realize not everything is easy and requires work. Starting at the bottom in a job is a good thing.

As a parent read this book with your teenagers. As a young married couple read it together.
