Produktinformationen "Getting Thru"
Everyone, at some point, has to get thru their "worst possible thing". For Jim Williams, that was losing Kyle, his six-year-old son, to cancer. One normal night, as he was being tucked into bed, five-year-old Kyle told his mom, "I'm always going to be this size." A year later, Kyle was diagnosed with stage four Neuroblastoma, a rare pediatric cancer afflicting Kyle with tumors to his spine, adrenal gland, liver, and bone marrow. His parents, Jim and Leslie Williams had never heard of Neuroblastoma until that day. What then ensued was every parent's Worst Possible Thing as their whole world turned upside-down: an eighteen-month battle as Kyle fought the cancer that threatened to take his small, miraculous, high-energy life. Getting Thru (The Worst Possible Thing) documents this battle from the perspective of Kyle's father. With raw blog entries penned during Jim's worst moments and poignant, thoughtful reflections written since their agonizing experience, Getting Thru is a tribute to Kyle's courageous, adventurous spirit. It is recognition of the ruthlessness and beauty of life. Above all, it is testament to the fact that every single person can get thru the "worst possible thing" and that there is a beacon of light to be found in every story, no matter how harrowing.
