Children who have a seriously ill brother or sister are very unique. They share a large part of themselves, each day, with someone who needs more care than they do. Often considered the forgotten ones, the book, DAY BY DAY, depicts how siblings of seriously ill or challenged children, through their experience, can learn to embrace the challenges of their exceptional situation, ultimately allowing them to transform into strong, spiritual, and caring people.

Often they arrive at insights that can help the whole family grow. By reading their stories, it is clear that most children are not resentful of their experience, but rather grateful for the lessons learned. They are happy to offer advice in order to help others faced with that same situation. They have a very poignant message...if we listen. Christine Frisbee, whose young son Rich died of leukemia in 1989, was inspired by the strength of her four other children during such a difficult time. She asked them each to write stories about what it was like for them to have a terminally ill brother.

Their resilience is the inspiration for the book DAY BY DAY. Mrs. Frisbee began to collect stories from children around the country who had a seriously ill sibling, asking them to share their stories of hope and faith. The stories were then compiled so that children, parents and caregivers could learn from their experiences. They are the angels sent to us for knowledge. They are innocent and honest. Through the eyes of children we can see without distortion. It is through listening to children that we learn what we need to hear. Once we hear we must respond so that each child has an opportunity to grow in a healthy way.
