I think someone should tell Eichlers that they're going to be open til midnight on wednesday. With all the people who are saying they won't miss this, there's no way you'll get all these books signed in 1 1/2 hours.
When I was in high school there was a speaker who said that he was once asked by a not-yet-frum person in an audience "What's the point of all the suffering I experienced in my upbringing?" The speaker was almost stumped but answered, "I can't tell you why you have suffered so much, but if I walk into a bookstore a few years from now and I see your name on the cover of an inspirational book, I wouldn't be surprised."
I don't live in Brooklyn but I am IY"H sending my friend to buy me a copy. I heard your interview on Gavriel Sanders' show and I'm really excited to read the book!!
I can be contacted at twinklebrite@yahoo.com This is a blog of the journal I kept when I was a 16 year old teen with cancer.
It sat in my drawer collecting dust for a long time until I decided that it was important to get my story out there.
Whether the reader is here for inspiration, support, a laugh, a good cry, curiosity, or by accident, I'm glad to be of service.
I learned from this challenge that Hashem put before me and do not regret going through it. I will never know His reasoning, but that's not my job.
My job is to put myself out there and be there for anyone who needs chizuk. My job is to show the world that cancer can be a part of someone's every day living without taking over their life. My job is to show that there is a life after cancer as well.
That was then. I am now.
So if you feel that reading my blog/book has made a difference to you, then my journal has already more than served its purpose.
