The same was true for young BJ and his Grandmother. They shared a bond that was inseparable. Their days included weekly phone calls, reading books, playing video games, and watching videos together. When Grandma unfortunately passed away, BJ was faced with a new reality.\u00a0 His parents, however, worked with him to understand what happened with the death of his grandmother.\u00a0 He also found out that he now would have a new Guardian Angel, Grandma, who would be looking at him for the rest of his life.\u00a0 How Angels Are Made is a journey of happiness, pain, and overcoming. It is a must-read for any family that has had to deal with the untimely passing of someone they love.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1436157390756{padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_id=”chapters”][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”THE INSPIRATION” sub_title=”The real life story behind How Angels Are Made” color=”grey” style=”with-line” icon=”nt-icon-th-list”][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Based on a true story of the relationship between the author\u2019s mother and son, How Angels are Made was a true creation in the midst of a tragedy.\u00a0 Author Bryson Thompson Sr. wrote the initial version of the book only two days after returning home from her funeral. During the initial days of the passing of his mother, Bryson and his wife spent significant time speaking with their son, BJ, about what happened to his mother.\u00a0 In the mist of those conversations, it became very apparent that they needed to be very clear and transparent with young BJ and answer as many questions as he had. \u00a0 One thing the Thompson family took away from their situation was how confused youth are during times of grief. From there, Bryson focused his energy on using their tragedy as a tool for youth and families to be able to work through their own healing processes.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2255″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css_animation=”flipInY” style=”shadow”][\/vc_column][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1586424587197{padding-top: 40px !important;}”][vc_gallery images=”2257,2219,2220,2221″ img_size=”medium” el_class=”image-gallery”][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”kickstarter”][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2316″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_bottom=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1436337903550{padding-bottom: 0px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}” el_id=”author”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_animate_box][vc_single_image image=”2344″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”left-to-right” animate=”s-left”][\/vc_animate_box][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_text_separator title=”MEET THE AUTHOR” border=”false” style=”with-line” margin_bottom=”30″ css=”.vc_custom_1585610069678{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2210″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_id=”b-logo”][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Proud husband, father, educator, mentor and entrepreneur perfectly describes the life of Bryson Thompson Sr. With 10+ years of experience as a special educator and mental health professional, Bryson has dedicated his life to finding ways to uplift young men and women.
