Cards for Brianna: A Lifetime of Lessons from a Dying Mother to Her Daughter
by Heather McManamy
I had really expected to fully cry my eyes out reading this book. Instead what I found was inspiring. And I think that was Heather's intention. To remind people to enjoy life for all its worth while you can.
I didn't know Heather, but she lived in a neighboring community. So her story was well known. It is definitely a sad story and she shares bits of that in her book. But she truly was the brave one. To withstand treatment after treatment so that she could go on and have one more..one more day with her daughter, one more day with her husband. One more, because she didn't know when those one mores were going to end.
This book shows that even on her darkest, hardest days, she chose to turn to laughter to help bring her back up.
It is not easy to read a book when you know it doesn't end a miraculous recovery or a happy ending. But the insights Heather shares from her last months are poignant reminders of how to love a life that everyone should read.
