NATIONAL BESTSELLER

For readers of Paul Kalanithi's When Breath Becomes Air and Will Schwalbe, the moving, inspiring story of a young husband and father who, when diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of thirty-three, sets out to build a legacy for his infant son.

i can't make you feel what it's like to be a young, dumb, na ve thirty-year-old sitting in the back of a walk-in clinic waiting to be handed what is essentially a death sentence any more than i can show you what it feels like to have a husband or father or child who's dying and knowing there is nothing you can do to stop it. i can only describe to you how i feel today. angry. at peace. scared. grateful. a giant, spiky, flowering heart-shaped bouquet of contradictions.

Layton Reid was a globe-trotting, risk-taking, sunshine-addicted bachelor--then came a melanoma diagnosis. Cancer startled him out of his arrested development--he returned home to Halifax to work as a wedding photographer--and remission launched him into a new, passionate life as a husband and father-to-be. When the melanoma returned, now at Stage IV, Layton and his family put all their stock into a punishing alternative therapy, hoping for a cure. This Is Not the End of Me recounts Layton's three-year journey as he tried desperately to stay alive for his young son, Finn, and then found purpose in preparing Finn for a world without him.

With incredible intimacy, grit, and empathy, reporter Dakshana Bascaramurty casts an unsentimental eye on who her good friend was: his effervescence, his twisted wit, his anger, his vulnerability. Interweaving Layton's own reflections--his diaries written for Finn, his letters to his wife, Candace, and his public journal--she paints a keenly observed portrait of Layton's remarkable evolution. In detailing the ugly, surprising, and occasionally funny ways in which Layton and his family faced his mortality, the book offers an unflinching look at how a person dies, and how we might build a legacy in our information-saturated age.

Powerful and unvarnished, This is Not the End of Me is about someone who didn't get a very happy ending, but learned to squeeze as much life as possible from his final days.

Durable Fun for Chew-Happy Dogs
Size: Medium, Style: Squeaker
This dog ball has been a hit with my dogs, despite their tendency to chew through toys. These balls hold up surprisingly well given his chewing habits, which is why I keep coming back to them. They provide endless fun with their squeaky feature, keeping my dogs engaged and active. One thing I really like is their durability. While my dogs do eventually chew them up, they last a significant amount of time compared to other toys we've tried. The squeaker adds an extra layer of excitement, making playtime even more enjoyable for my dog. However, if your dog is an aggressive chewer, be prepared for some wear, tear, and replacement over time. The squeaker balls are worth it for the durability and entertainment they provide with the current price tag. They withstand a good amount of chewing, making them a reliable choice for medium breeds that love to play and chew. Just remember that they will not last forever.

Squeaks for a while
Size: Medium, Style: Squeaker
I've got probably 10 of these, now. The squeaker fails pretty quickly. But our dog still likes them, just not as much as when they squeak. I'm tossing these a good 75 yards and farther. The Chuckit glowballs make sounds through their holes so no separate squeakers there. Dog really likes those glowballs.
