"The Plan of Happiness, as told by my son Brett" by Jim Neeley

It was written by my friend Jen (from Gabrielle's wedding)'s dad. It's the lessons that he was taught by Jen's older brother Brett. He was a missionary in Panama. His letters are where the majority of the book comes from. About 6 months after he got home from his mission, he was in a fatal boarding accident. Just remembering reading about that makes me get a little teary-eyed. But the way that Jen's dad presents it is so beautiful. He tells of precious experiences that he experienced just before and just after Brett's death, which prepared him for it as much as he could have been.

Hearing about a boy dying so soon after his mission was horribly sad, especially because Austin is so close to leaving on his own mission. But I think the reason why I cried so much while/after reading this book is because you can really feel of his spirit through these experiences. He sounds like a wonderful son, and I know he's their family's guardian angel now.

So read it, it's a wonderful book! It's "The Plan of Happiness, as told by my son Brett", by Jim Neeley. Now for sale.
