This book helped me get through the hard times in my life when my mom was in the hospital. It had uplifting short stories related to the author's life. It definitely cheers you up and gives you a new perspective on things. A few of my favorite quotes from the book:

" Friendship is an opportunity to act on God's behalf in the lives of the people that we're close to, reminding each other who God is." p49

" Family gets made when you decide to hold hands and sit shoulder to shoulder when it seems like the sky is falling. Family gets made when the world becomes strange and disorienting, and the only face you recognize is his. Family gets made when the future obscure itself like a solar eclipse, and in the intervening darkness, you decide that no matter what happens in the night, you'll face it as one." p29
