" Come take me if yo ucan. I'm alive Damnit!"
Eric was seventeen when he heard the doctor's verdict about the disease that wanted his life. At first he and his family could not believe it. For Eric was the picture of everything a youth should be a champion athlete a splendid human being vibrant with energy and loved by all who knew him family teachers and friends.
The doctors could promise little They would do as much as was medically possible. Eric had to do as much as was humanly possible. But if the odds were not good they were good enough for Eric. Given the choice between life and death, Eric chose to live.
This is Eric's story as told by the person who lived it with him all the way........ his mother
Deeply moving and beautifully written...a triumph of life over death?
