English Summary/英文概要： Angie and Ian were childhood sweethearts, Angie adored kids and, as one of eight children himself, Ian was only too happy to have as many as they could. After their marriage they had three sons in quick succession. But then, aged just thirty one, Angie was diagnosed with breast cancer and the couple had to accept they might not be able to have any more. Five years on, though, with Angie well again they went on to have five more. But in 2007, Angie had a shadow on her lung and it was the return of the original breast cancer she thought she had beaten. It seemed the disease had returned to tear their world apart again. Though Ian searched tirelessly for cures, Angie practised acceptance. She wouldn’t live to see her children grow up. Raising eight children would be a big job for any couple; to raise them alone, without their mother, an almost Herculean feat. But this was exactly what Angie wanted Ian to be able to do. So in the last months of her life, Angie compiled a list of ’rules’ to guide Ian in the future, and put him on an intensive training course, so he could learn all the skills he would need. She taught him how to make her special chicken curry, how to soothe away their hurts, pack their lunchboxes with all their favourites and do all the little things she’d done for them so unthinkingly. And Ian knew he wasn’t just doing this for the children. He was doing it so his beloved wife could be comforted by knowing that he had the tools to bring their children up her way. Finally, inevitably, came the hardest task of all. Angie, the job done, had to find the courage to let them go, and Ian and the children the courage to carry on without her.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： Angie和Ian青梅竹马. Angie喜欢小孩子，作为八个孩子中的一个的自己，Ian只为他们可以有尽可能多的兄弟姐妹而高兴。结婚之后，他们很快就有了三个儿子。但后来，只有31岁的Angie被诊断患有乳腺癌，这使得这对夫妻不得不接受他们可能无法再有更多小孩的事实。但是五年后，Angie康复了，于是他们又生了5个。但在2007年，在Angie的肺里有一个影子，这是她以为她战胜了的原乳腺癌复发了。这次疾病的复发似乎撕裂了他们的世界。尽管Ian不停的寻求治疗，但Angie熟练的接受结果。
她不可能活着看到自己的孩子长大。抚养八个孩子对任何一对夫妻来说都是一项很大的工作；没有母亲，一个人将他们抚养成人，这是一个十分艰巨的壮举。但是，这正是Angie希望Ian能做到的事情。因此，在她生命的最后几个月Angie编写了一系列的“章程”来指导Ian未来的生活 ，并让他参加一个集中的训练课程，这样他就可以学习他需要的所有技能。她教他如何做她特制的咖喱鸡，如何舒缓他们的痛痒，挑选所有他们最爱的便当，以及其他她无需思索为他们做的所有小事。Ian知道他不只是为孩子们做这些。他这样做也是为了安慰他心爱的妻子：让她知道他用这些工具以她的方式来养大孩子们。最后，不可避免地，遇到了最困难的任务。完成这项工作之后，Angi必须找到让他们离开的勇气。Ian和孩子们在没有她的情况下继续生活下去的勇气。(LNL)
