Timmy's Wish is a young boy's powerful declaration of his faith and purpose in life. Composed in response to a school writing prompt, he proclaims his desire to become a beacon of faith for those who will follow him. Several months after writing his 'Wish', Timmy is diagnosed with a brain tumor, and this sends him on a journey through the ravages of pediatric cancer surgery and treatment while he continues to live out his life's purpose. Timmy's Wish is told through the experiences of his older brother who chronicles his younger brother's amazing life and their relationship with each other and their family as they battle this disease together. The family, without warning, must now deal with the realities of life, death, grief, and resilience while also battling the challenge to their faith as prayer has failed to bring them the answers they seek. In recognition of the many families who are faced with similar challenges, there are resources listed for families and individuals who seek family care services and options for managing the grief that inevitably comes with this traumatic experience. Timmy's Wish is the moving true story of how one life and one wish inspires his brother, his family, and a community and continues to do so through his lessons from heaven.
