Many of you know that we lost my nephew in November to suicide. As you might imagine, this has been a particularly difficult time for all of us. As a family, we have never suffered a loss like this before.

He would have been 21 today. He was your typical all-American boy. He loved sports (football especially), fishing, hunting and camping. He was absolutely hilarious. He brought so much joy to other people and yet inside he was fighting demons that we could never understand.

I am reading this book in his honor. He read this book with his mother and absolutely loved it. (Just so you know, because of Ben I will love it also and my review will probably be biased.) I had hoped to have it finished and reviewed today but I’m not sure I am going to make it.

If you or someone you love is having thoughts of harming themselves, please get help. There is hope.
