Description
I am going to die.
No matter how many times Andy Costello rolled those words around his mouth, the bitter aftertaste of regret lingered on. For his life had not been a journey of happiness, growth, and friendship, but of selfishness, thoughtlessness, and worst of all – loneliness.
But on that fated afternoon, high up in a Massachusetts hospital when his terminal diagnosis is declared, Andy’s life does not hit a dead end but an intersection. A crossroad of choices; either be absorbed by self-pity or make the most of the time he has left. Determined to make amends for his past indiscretions, Andy’s journey of repentance and rediscovery invites old faces he thought he’d never see again, as well as new ones from the most unexpected places.
For it’s not how you die that matters, but how you’ve lived.

Bring the tissues for this one! This is the story of Andy and how he is diagnosed with inoperable terminal brain cancer after ignoring a year of awful headaches. That’s how the book starts. Literally. You know that Andy is going to die at the end of the book, so this isn’t a story about his death. It’s a story about his life. How he took his diagnosis and uses it to change his life and the lives of the people around him. He apologized for the mistakes he’d made to people he hadn’t seen in years, he made new friends who would impact the way he lived the rest of his life and he saved a neglected, abused little boy from a horrendous living situation. Along the way he connected with old friends, created a stronger bond with his parents, and reconnected with the love of his life. The story of Andy’s life is beautiful. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did. But definitely get those tissues ready, especially for the second half of the book!
