Heaven Is For Real: Todd Burpo

Todd, Colton's father, talks about when he was in the hospital because he had a six millimeter kidney stone and had to have surgery for it. Then he talked about getting the tip of his finger smashed in a tailgate and then says it was like baking cookies compared to his kidney stone he passed in three days. The finger part brought back memories to me when my brother got half of his finger smashed off on the back of a trailer door. My mom had been baking cookies at the time and what he said definately reminded me of when that happened to my brother. Although I was not home. I was at a friend's house but I remember my cousins came out to pick me up and take me up to the hospital where they amputated my brother's finger. Mom and dad said my brother didn't even cry, he was just shocked which makes me think that he's brave just like Colton in this book.
