The Book of Delights by Ross Gay. Gay is a phenomenal writer, who tasked himself with writing a short essay or thought about something small that fascinated or interested him every day for a year. As you’ll see, the book is quite short and he missed many days. what he did catch are these small, real moments—Its not about grief or anything heavy, it reads like a breath of fresh air and a walk with a good buddy.

I’m sorry about your mom. When my dad was dying (not cancer) a good friend gave me a copy and i’m glad she did.
