About a month after my wife's funeral, some of her friends had started writing letters to Charlotte, our then two-year-old daughter, for her to read when she got older so that she would have a better understanding of her mother. Others had started to do scrapbooks. I had given a eulogy, and I decided to write a memoir that in essence was a longer version, telling the story along the way of my life with my late wife and our daughter. At first, I intended to write something more personal, probably just for family and a few friends, but then, word began to spread about my memoir. Several people told me that they would want to read it, and I began editing it for public consumption. I do think that Laura's story is typical of many other mothers battling breast cancer (unfortunately), and our story will hopefully inspire them. Laura fought her cacer so bravely, and she relied on her faith in God throughout, always keeping a positive attitude no matter how much pain she was in. I have already heard from so many people who have told me how this book has helped them.
