Excerpt from Back in the Day 2: The College Years With the little
strength he had, Thomas told us he wanted to go camping one last
time. "Consider this my dying wish and honor it, please?" Later
that night Thomas began to use the bucket more frequently than he
had been. He said he had one last thing he wanted. He told Chris he
wanted to sit on his lap and have Chris sing his favorite song to
him. They looked into each other's eyes as Chris started to sing "I
see trees of green, red roses too." We all knew what that song was.
When Chris got to the part that says "They're really sayin' I love
you," Thomas forced out the words to Chris. "I love you" and with
that Thomas closed his eyes and drew his last breath. Thomas got
everything he wanted in his final days and hours. We could see
Chris just sitting there rocking Thomas' lifeless body. Reviews for
Back in the Day: Anthony Larson Phoenix, AZ It is rare that a book
speaks to me in the way this book did. It has been a long time
since I was so taken by a book that i had to literally force myself
to put it down in order to do things like sleep and eat. I had only
gotten as far as the second paragraph when I first had the thought
that this could just as well be my story. As it turns out I would
have that thought more times than I could count. I am by no means
easily moved to tears by something I am reading; however, this book
moved me to tears a number of times. If only every teenager who
sees his or her self as being "different" in any way could have
parents like John and Sara Kendall this world would be a much
better place. Jeff Milyard Arizona The excerpt from your book
strikes home as a dear friend was beaten by both his mother and
father after discovering a love letter from his boyfriend. While I
tried to ease his pain that incident placed fear in my heart and I
never did come out.
