In the space between grief and joy lies gratitude.

So it's said to everything there is a season, a time to live and a time to die. In this part memoir and part guide for his children, author Mike Kreiling recounts his experience of losing his beloved dad, his struggles between ego and humility, and how he ultimately used gratitude to move through the profound pain of loss toward personal growth. In this moving tribute to his dad, Pete, Mike rises above his pain to become the dad he was raised to be.

One must rise to move beyond sorrow.
