I don’t think there is anything in the world that can bring a caring parent more joy than watching their young child develop and grow. There is something special about the first few years, the rapid development, openness, transparency, and trusting love that young children possess and display with such enthusiasm. And I cannot imagine anything more devastating to a parent than the death of a young child. It is just too horrible to even contemplate. But to experience the death of such a precious young child must be the most painful thing a parent can endure.Bomb Pops®, Blow Dryers & Butterfly Kisses is the story of tragic ending to the life of Ramsey, three years old at the time of his drowning. Ramsey was the youngest son of Angelia Waite, the author.The story is heart wrenching. It is painful to read. Their family was your average middle class family in a typical suburban subdivision. But all that changed dramatically when for reasons no one will ever know, he fell into the deep end of the swimming pool and drowned.It is impossible for most of us to comprehend how we could cope with such a situation. Losing a child is horrible enough, but enduring the comments and questions of well-meaning but misguided friends, family and even strangers just intensifies the pain.The first part of the book sets the stage and then describes the discovery of Ramsey at the bottom of the pool. Ms. Waite then relives the painful days of trying to cope with the tragic event. You will be moved to tears as you read about this painful journey.Ms. Waite had always had a strong faith. But after the death of Ramsey, she questioned her faith, prayed for guidance and healing.In the latter part of the book, Ms. Waite discusses how she used her strong faith to find meaning and restore some peace to her life. It was not an easy struggle. There were many times she felt like she could not cope. But her strong faith and continued religious studies carried her through.If you are struggling with any major loss in life, have a strong faith or are willing to embrace a healing path based on faith, then this book will give you a journey to find meaning and peace.There are some valuable lessons about what to say and do to help those suffering overwhelming loss. Too many times in an attempt to share our concern with those suffering a loss, we inadvertently make things worse by saying or doing the wrong thing.Ms. Waite writes in a conversational style. The book is easy to read. Ms. Waite has a very strong faith and is a pastor. Her writing reflect her faith.I was provided a review copy of this book.

Pastor Angelina Waite's book is a must read for anyone who has gone through or is going through trials. A great book for anyone who needs to know how to grieve or minister to a grieving person. A great book for anyone who needs a boost of insperation and directons. Thank you Angelina. May God continue to bless your family.

Our son died 15 years ago, and this book was right on the mark. Parts of it brought tears, but all of it was real and helpful. Would especially recommend it to parents having lost a young child. The author walks us through her journey for answers to her grief.

Great book!
