A book about a boy who has lots of things to worry about including the terminal illness of his Mum. This is the story of Tony's life as his mother enters the final stages of life before she dies of pneumonia, a result of her multiple sclerosis. It also tells of Tony's relationship with Clare, and his rescuing of an injured seagull. Tony's emotions are honestly described, including his anger at his mother for not being like other mothers. He is also angry at those people who expect him to tell them how he feels, or who expect to be reassured that his mother is fine, when it's not the case. The story ends on the morning of his mother's death. The title comes from Tony mother's favourite Bible verse, Isaiah 40:29-31: He gives vigour to the weary, new strength to the exhausted. Young men may grow weary and faint, even in their prime they may stumble and fall; but those who look to the Lord will win new strength, they will grow wings like eagles; they will run and not be weary; they will march on and never grow faint. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
