Amy taught us to live each day to the fullest

The book was such a wonderful read. It's amazing how quickly kids are forced to grow up in these situations. Amy trying to hold off on telling her parents her latest test results so she could spare them pain. That just tells me how wonderful she was. She will live in many hearts forever.

This book is so inspiring. Whether or not you are living with cancer, I think everyone can take away from this to live each day to the fullest. Amy certainly taught everyone she came in contact with to appreciate the people and good things in life. She will always be remembered through this wonderful memoir.
