And You Know You Should Be Glad: A True Story of Lifelong Friendship by Bob Greene

OK, I must be hormonal or something...becau se I was crying my eyes out! I mean it, I was seriously a mess. this book is "a highly personal and moving true story of friendship and rememberance."

The inside cover of the book: "Growing up in Bexley, Ohio, population 13,000, Bob Greene and his four best friends -- Allen, Chuck, Dan, and Jack -- were inseparable. Of the four, Jack was Bob's very best friend, a bond forged from the moment they met on the first day of kindergarten. They grew up together, got into trouble together, learned about life together -- and were ultimately separated by time and distance, as all adults are. But through the years Bob and Jack stayed close, holding on to the friendship that had formed years before.
Then the fateful call came: Jack was dying. And in this hour of need, as the closest of friends will do, Bob, Allen, Chuck, and Dan put aside the demands of their own lives, came together, and saw Jack through to the end of his journey.
Tremendously moving, funny, heart-stirring, and honest, And You Know You Should Be Glad is an uplifting exploration of the power of friendship to uphold us, sustain us, and ultimately set us free. "

I loved this book. If you like it, I suggest you read one of Bob Greene's other books titled: Once Upon a Town: The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen.

Oh by the way, to all my friends out there: I love you!
