Death and grief-these are two words that all of us will encounter at some point in our lives. They are very painful, and at times they can be so very unforgiving. The loss of a parent is one of the most heartbreaking experiences you can go through. This is the story of a man who experienced not one but both of his parents' cancer battles and eventual deaths. This story will take you through the beginnings of their diseases, through the diagnosis and treatments, to their emotional final days.

The deaths of the author's parents were not the end of this story. It was just the beginning, because their lessons of courage, faith, and love that they displayed every day-especially during their cancer battles-served as a catalyst for everyone who knew them and eventually provided the inspiration for the author to keep moving forward. It is the author's hope that this story will inspire, and more importantly help, others who are experiencing grief to understand they are not alone and that no matter how dark life may seem, God's mighty hand can always restore hope.
