Author's Response: In many cases, that's all you can do: focus on putting one foot in front of the other, getting through that particular day in one piece.
Wowsers is right..
These lines here: You’ll get through this the same way everybody else does, sir—one day at a time.” Hopefully I think Joey would overcome this, he has his four best friends to be there with him through thick and thin, and this is not gonna be an easy task, it'll be difficult, though I have never(nor anyone that I know) experienced something like this, and I don't wish this for anyone.. :( But I love the fact that you are writing this and you can show readers about the experieces you had with your mom regarding this.
Good chapter though..
Author's Response: That's how I got through it, one day at a time, and friends, family, and God kept me going. While I still wish my mom never had cancer, I can't very well say I'd give up those priceless life lessons.
Author's Response: Sorry if I'm making you cry, but that also pleases me because it means my story's convincing. Since I plan to be a REAL author someday, this is a valuable skill.
