If I Were a Little Guy

If I Were a Little Guy If I Were a Little Guy was inspired by the award winning author's father, Milton J. Kramer, who in January 2004 at the age of 56 years, was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer that had metastasized to his liver. As he lay in the Denver Hospital, his four children surrounding him, huge snowflakes began to drop from the sky. Looking out the window, he said "Man, If I were a little guy I could climb on one of those and float on down." They spent many wonderful days with him during his final two months. One occasion in particular stuck with author.

Milt received a solicitation call from an organization raising money for children with cancer. Of the one sided conversation she heard him say "I really wish I could help, I have cancer myself, I am not working and won't receive any benefits until August. Call me then and I will gladly contribute." (he passed away in April.) After he hung up he said, "I am dieing, but I have lived a real full life, done everything I wanted, done a lot of things I didn't think I would. It just doesn't make sense that these kids have to suffer without experiencing life, graduation, marriage, having children of their own, I wish I could help."

If I Were a Little Guy will do just that - help. A portion of all sales proceeds will be donated to winning the battle against childhood cancer as well as bringing a smile to those who read it.
