Letters To My Departed Son Constance Spight

When Brandon Spight was born, his parents, Constance and Virgil, believed he was their one-in-a-million child, a gift from God. As they admired his ten fingers and toes, neither could have imagined that there was already a small imperfection deep within his brain that would ultimately force him to make a life-or-death decision while he was still in his teens. Certainly, they had no reason to believe he would leave them just days before his eighteenth birthday.

In a heartfelt volume of personal letters to her son, Constance provides a poignant glimpse into his extraordinary life. As her letters lead others through an extremely challenging time that begins with Brandon's diagnosis at age seventeen and ends with her reflections about her journey through unthinkable grief to eventual acceptance and healing, Constance not only demonstrates the power of unconditional love, but also the power of a young man's exceptional ability to positively impact others not just in life, but also death. Included are moving remembrances from those who knew and loved him.

Dear Brandon: Letters to My Departed Son shares personal letters from a grieving mother to her beloved son as he battles and sadly loses an insurmountable health challenge.
