Heaven is For Real

I can't read the book without crying anymore.

Ugh. I know I'm such a baby. "she always writes about her sister," you'll say.

Well, I have no other connections to make so Larkin is a pretty easy way out.

So Todd undergoes injury, after injury, after another injury in this book and it's getting kind of ridiculous! I don't even want to try and put myself in his shoes. i just can't even imagine.

When my family first officially "moved" to Memphis, TN for Larkin, we had a bit of a following of unfortunate events as well. My dad's car (which is way too old by the way, his fault) began to break down, and had to be taken into the shop at least 4 times. Our washer and dryer back home died, and has to be replaced so I could still wear clean clothes back home in Baton Rouge. Then my grandaddy went into the hospital in Atlanta, GA for heart pains. He was released soon afterwards, but it left us startled to say the least.

I can't remember, but there were so many more potholes that got in our way that year. That feeling of "why me, why now?" is as close as I'll ever get to Todd's dilemmas in Heaven is For Real I guess, and hope. The family's struggles keep piling up and a streak of bad days is dragging behind them. Hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel the the Burpo family. Gotta keep reading!
