Told though his own eyes and words, this heart wrenching story follows an eleven year old boy (Teddy) through his eight month battle with Leukemia. The author (Teddy’s mother) wrote the book as a promise to her son that his story be told and as a way of coping with the tragic loss. Originally intended to be read by and to children, the book can be read by people of all ages, especially those who have suffered the loss of a loved one or who has someone who is critically ill. The book stresses the need for love and support in times of crisis from family, friends and caring individuals.Following is a brief excerpt from the Author’s Note at the beginning of the book.He wanted so badly to get better. The question he asked most often was "Why?" "Why me?" "What did I do that was so bad?"How do you begin to explain why to a child, when you, yourself can't begin to comprehend a reason.What happens to a child and his family and friends is something everyone should be aware of. Everyone! Parents, grandparents, hospital staff, bill collectors, employers.I'm writing this book, I suppose, to give my son's death some meaning. To help me understand and accept my loss. Though I know in my heart that it's only temporary.‘Through Teddy’s Eyes’ is a book that should not be missed.
