Book Review: "When Life Gives You Pears" By Jeannine Gaffigan

Sincerity, hilarity, heartfelt love, & with SuperMom charm Jeannie is someone we should all welcome in to our homes.

Prior to this Goodreads giveaway I had no idea about Jeannie and her career. However after reading this I feel like we are the best of friends.


I'm an empath. I feel emotion more than anyone else and this was chock full of nuts, soul, and compassion.


It will have you laugh, cry, and split your pants laughing....


Can you imagine a brain tumor can somehow put your whole life and future into an entirely different realm? One that is positive for all?


I can't imagine her pain, her adversity, her courage to face the unthinkable.


What I can note is I've had a friend die from brain cancer and he always had carried this backpack around with him. I had no idea that backpack was to keep him alive.


I later learned he had stage 4 glioblastoma and passed away rather quickly from initial diagnosis leaving behind a wife and two handsome boys.


I say this because life is short. Life must be lived to the fullest. 


I believe after reading this Jeannine had several angels on her shoulder.


I also believe it was meant for a reason. To slow down and enjoy what she may have been taking advantage of all those years.


While she mentioned she's not going to write about God and faith she definitely has been touched by someone from up above.


Her relationship with her family and friends has clearly grown from this alarming situation. 


What we fail to realize is the toll it takes upon our loved ones when Super Moms get sick. 


Jeannine is lucky to have such great support as not all of us have such a supportive system in place.
