I was looking for reading material that would allow me to feel less alone in my own family struggles with cancer, having lost two family members to this horrendous disease. I found myself drawn to the stories of children who have had to brave this disease. The two books that affected me the most poignantly were the book "Hannah's Gift"Lessons from a Life Fully Lived by Maria Housden and your book "Noe". I want to sincerely thank you for sharing your family's story of loss and more importantly,love. Noah would be so proud of you. I am sure he is. I hope that Eric is flourishing in his life. What handsome boys! I think you may get something from Hannah,s Gift as well. Maybe I am overstepping my bounds even suggesting it, but both stories so moved me, Hannah's, and of course Noah,s. What special children. In closing, thank you again for pouring your heart into your son's life story for the benefit of everyone fortunate enough to stumble upon the book, as I did.

And I am ordering it right away. I always think about Noah at this time of year. How wonderful that you completed it. I wish I could be at the launch party. I'm on my way out of the country for a few weeks, but I will blog about it and spread the word when I return. Eric's video made me cry and feel so much all over again. May your words reach many. Sending you love.. Barbara Dear Phil,

I'm also like you, a slow writer, but I can't imagine writing about my son's death. Congratulations on an excellent and moving book.

But I did get to meet Phil. I look forward to meeting them both together for the first time in the book Noe. Guiding others during difficult events in our lives is a wonderful gift to pass on to others. Dr. Phil Wolfson has done just that. Thank you for letting me meet your son, Noah, and thank you for extending your hand of help to others. I never got to meet Noah. But I did get to meet Phil.

I feel certain he's laughing with pride and joy for what you two have accomplished -- with his subtle influence.
