Story

Sam has leukaemia. Since he is too ill to go to school, he and his best friend Felix are home-schooled by Mrs Willis. In one of their lessons she makes them think of ways to become immortal. So Sam starts to write a diary. After all: Living forever is not possible but you can leave something behind to make people remember you. In his diary Sam asks questions, grown-ups never answer. Like: Why do children die? Or: Where do we go after death? And he puts down wishes he wants to fulfil before he dies. A heart-warming story about disease, death and acceptance.
