About this ebook
Aimee M. Lorenz M.D
Chrissy McCalmont has been married for twenty years and would tell you every day she falls more in love with her spouse and that has been one of the defining keys to her great success in life. She has 9 amazing kids each unique and wonderful in their own special way. She fills her day with children as she owns her own daycare, and when asked how she does it, she smiles and replies “A day with a small child will never have cruelty, hatefulness, or be full or revenge, and discrimination.” It has also allowed her to be home with her kids, especially her disabled sons and for that she is forever grateful. In her spare time she surrounds her life with family and close friends. Her home has always been a revolving door for those in need of a place to stay, an ear to bend, a great meal to eat or a night curled up on the couch with a glass of wine, soft music and great conversation. However five years ago Chrissy lost her beautiful son Alex at 2 1/2 to a sudden infant death and although devastating she, through her faith, has been able to put some of the pieces back together in her life. That being said it only makes sense that bullying and the increase of teen suicide would be an issue that would plague her heart as she has seen and endured firsthand the pain and loss of a child. Chrissy is no stranger to the amazing differences in children and embraces each one of their special patterns. However Chrissy expresses this story is written about the little boy that held his mommy’s whole world in his little hands, the little boy that never left her side, the one who made her laugh till she and when she cried, he cried too, the little boy that grew up to be a teen but still stayed home and helped with his disabled brother, and who also grew to be a clean fanatic like his mommy : ) This book is David’s story who is now a grown man going through Firemans School, working full time, and getting married this summer and even though he lives a distance away now he still manages to call her more than once a week and visits as often as he can and then drags her all over the city as if they were the best of friends. But as she pauses she takes a minute to express her gratitude to God because that little boy she loves so much was bullied, bullied until he quit school and had to pursue home schooling, bullied until he had an eating disorder, bullied until he experienced some self cutting, bullied until he hated himself, bullied, bullied, bullied, and why? Because he was a little different. But he was one of the lucky ones, he pushed through; he made it. But it all could have ended very differently, Chrissy knows all too well and that is why she feels God truly commissioned her heart to write this book; she believes God is the true author and his message is clear. It’s left up to you now if you have the ears to hear and the heart to listen.
