Michaël, My Son
Everything I learned with you now helps me live without you
Original Title
Michaël, mon fils Tout ce que j’ai appris avec toi me permet maintenant de vivre sans toi
««Every man is the son of his own works», Cervantes said; as for me, I'm very much the work of my son….»
This book is the story of a loving and devoted father, who looked after his son Michaël, suffering from a degenerative neuromusculatory disease, until his death when he was nearly twelve. What lessons do we learn from life with a child who is dying? How can we transform an ordeal like this into a source of life and joy? From the deepest despair to an experience approaching the sublime, this lucid and moving testimony describes the milestones on a journey of universal significance. Just like him, this story written in homage to Michaël, «a big soul in a little body», performs the greatest feat of magic: it opens our hearts.
