In "Defining Moments," Joseph LeBlanc takes us on a journey through
times and happenings in his life firm in the belief that so many of
these moments have been lived by each of us in countless ways that
are, in the end, so much the same. His words speak of hopes and
fears and loss and pain and of the spirit that survives. He finds
in these moments a common thread and finds it well. These are roads
well-traveled as we make our way, sometimes halting, sometimes
tentative, always in search of more meaning. There is much to savor
that should not be missed. Rare will be the reader who is not found
somewhere in these pages. Rarer still will be the one who is not
moved to remembrance and reflection from having read this way.
"Oh Joe!" is a must read for anyone who has experienced grief and
loss and struggles to survive. Other books have been written about
the stages of grief. This one eloquently conveys in poem the
complex feelings of the grieving process that others describe with
clinical observation. There are no platitudes, no easy answers
here. Joseph LeBlanc speaks from the heart about the anguish of
loss and how it feels. It is a father's personal struggle to
survive the loss of his son so piercing you will feel you are there
and fall to your knees in thanks that you are not. He speaks to us
of feelings of loss we all have in a way that cannot help but leave
you touched. It is rare that a man would expose this much of
himself. It is rarer still that he would write about it for all to
read. We should be thankful for this glimpse into the recesses of
soul within us all.
