Of Laughter & Tears
I woke up today to the news that Missing Kylie was number one on Amazon’s Movers & Shakers list! Unreal. I realize this was caused by the childhood cancer community and our friends who went out and bought it on release day. I am grateful for all of them.

I am excited to announce the April 9th release of Missing Kylie!
What is it, you ask?
Missing Kylie is a compilation of my writing from Kylie’s diagnosis to the first anniversary of her death.

You’ll smile some, cry more – and most importantly, I believe you will feel something while reading it. And despite what my macho side has told me all of these years, feelings are good.
The book contains short chapters, many of which started as blog posts, and it is divided into three sections: The Struggle, The Loss, and The Search for Meaning. Although it is organized chronologically, it is less a history of treatment and more a tango with God as I try to maintain my faith through the hardest two years any parent could imagine. Read More
