A mother records with uncompromising honesty the end of the life of her 4-year-old son. Aged 10 months, Tom was diagnosed as suffering from Tay Sachs disease and given only a few years to live under constant care. Christine decided to make her diary because she wanted as many people as possible to know her son in his short life . As her family grieves, Christine is released from caring for Tom, but the new sense of freedom is overtaken by a longing to have her son back again. Her diary is a personal, powerful and deeply moving record of a family struggling to come to terms with a child's life and death.
