It may just be the great admiration I feel for this guy talking, but I loved this book.
It got me thinking about my parents and the things I don't know about them. Or the things I'd love for my kids to know about me if I weren't around at a given point in their lives. Alltogether, it's the kind of book that makes you take a step back and reconsider one's realationship with family, friends and life.
