Richard Cohen, a man afflicted with multiple sclerosis and colon cancer, writes about his experiences dealing with illness with denial, anger, and finally acceptance. His frank honesty in dealing with multiple sclerosis since his diagnosis at 25 is inspiring and makes the average healthy individual thankful for everything he or she often takes for granted. His worry about passing the condition on to his children is painful as his worry about being a strong role model because of his physical limitations.
I remember reading this book several times in elementary school and crying SO FREAKING HARD every time I read it. I think most people I know have this reaction to it. As a dog-owner, this book will forever have a special place in my library and my heart. I've been meaning to read it again but I'm kind of afraid... I might cry yeah, but I'm more scared I won't.
