This book was recommended by my youngest sister, Lynette. The book contains stories that touch the heart of every daughter towards her father and vice versa. I cried reading this book (darn! my sister really loves to tease me, she always laugh at me when I always cry reading heartfelt stories, books and watching drama movies). I recommend this book to all the daughters out there, you should read this book... it's a two thumbs up!!!

This is such a wonderful way of seeing some of the pain of a dad that is dying-once happened to me and not just happy times-helps to heal.
