lindsmann's review against another edition
5.0
I heard about how his son had passed, and later found this book. I'm lucky in that I've never really had to deal with much grief in my life thus far. But I still found this book incredibly touching, heart-breaking, and thoughtful.
While talking about an extremely emotional and delicate subject matter, Rob is still able to bring a levity to it that I can only imagine someone adept in the comedic arts could do—all without minimizing the seriousness of the topic.
I cried, laughed, and cried some more while reading this. I can't recommend it enough. Read this book!

- I knew Delaney primarily as a comedian on Twitter, and that joyful, weird spirit of his is present in this writing, even on such a horrific topic.
- And Delaney does not hold back on the unending horrors of what he and his family went through. This is one the hardest books I’ve ever read, and I don’t even have children.
- Through it all, even as Delaney unleashes this primal scream, he still shows us the love and joy he found in his son. This book is full of pain, yes, but we also learn about all the little everyday things about a child that only their parent knows, and I will carry a small piece of Henry with me now.
