    About this ebook

    There were times when smiles were evasive and tears profuse, but there were also many minutes, days, and months when the smiles and the tears became one and the same.

    Smiling through My Tears is a poignant story that chronologically unfolds the meaningful life and untimely death of my sonwho could have easily been anyones child or neighbor.

    Smiling through My Tears is an unveiling of an everyday American, dealing with a not-so-everyday, childhood disease. It touches everyones heart and soul. It offers strength to those living through similar circumstances, as well as understanding and peace to those who are the survivors.
