Thanks for the introduction to this book, Elizabeth. Sounds like a good companion to yours. I love the domino effect of them now having an organization for giving comfort to so many more people.
Thank you for this recommendation! What a lovely relationship these two formed, and it is encouraging to me to see how the letters the two exchanged became a vital means of support to Brian as he was dealing with cancer treatment. Also, thank you, Elizabeth, for sharing these resources with us. I agree with the statement that the most difficult type of letter to write is the one responding to the news about another having a terminal illness.
Thank you so much for such a thought comment, Sally. I'm so glad you enjoyed the post. I would love to meet these two in person -- I know from their writing that they must be lovely people.
I agree with you. Letters last, and they take effort and really allow for a special kind of exchange between people you don’t get any other way. I really enjoyed learning about how letters played such an important role in this man’s cancer journey.
Thanks, Sally! One of the delightful aspects of the book was Alison’s wicked humor and self-deprecating style — I’m sure it was enormously entertaining for him and made him feel special that she would share the details of her life with him.

That's what I loved about it too, Denise. Thanks so much for reading and commenting!
Their story should be turned into a movie, I would definitely watch it!
Me too! I wonder if maybe it’s in the works…
This book looks so good!
It was delightful, even though poignant. Alison's cheeky humor was clearly critical to his healing process.
