Being in pain is difficult.
Being young and not understanding why your
parent has changed is frightening.
We've seen how children have suffered and we want to help.
We are not professionals, but we put this book together to help your
children try and understand what you
are going through.

Daddy can’t play soccer or pick up Ralph, my dog, or even pick up Ralph’s dog food.
But Daddy
learned other stuff.

When he sits on the couch with his legs up and a pillow behind him, then he can watch a movie with me.
I taught him how to play video games. He isn’t very good. We play Super Smash Brothers. I am Diddy Kong and he’s Sonic. I think it’s funny my daddy chose to be a hedge hog!

Daddy can’t do stuff with me like outdoor stuff. But daddy does other stuff.
I met with daddy’s doctor who showed me a picture of my daddy’s back. He has metal in his back now after the doctor operated on it. The doctor said sometimes people who hurt get grouchy. That made me feel better because I thought it was my fault daddy hurt.
Now when daddy doesn’t listen or goes in his room
I don’t feel as bad.

I told Daddy I was going to be a doctor when I grow up. I’m going to find a way that stops people from hurting-
I’m going to find a cure for back pain.
Daddy said "that's fine with me!"
