Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In the early spring of 1986, I was at the hospital watching my best friend, Bonnie, who had tongue cancer and had never smoked a day in her life, get her feeding tube removed. She was thirty-one, and I was twenty-six. I was scared for her and her friends, who were all alone in the hospital.

#2 I eventually had to tell Jimmy’s mother that her son was dying, and that he was a homosexual. She hung up on me twice, but the third time was the charm, as she finally came to visit him.

#3 I went back to the hallway with the red door, and before I went back in, I had a little conversation with God. I knew that was Him working through Bonnie telling me I had to go back to Jimmy.

#4 I spent the night with Jimmy, and when he died, I called every funeral home in Arkansas. Every time, the mortuary refused to take him because of his condition. Finally, I called a black mortuary in Pine Bluff, and they agreed to cremate him.
