Pain Is My Companion, written by Steve Kravetz, is the compelling memoir of Russell Langhammerโa man for whom pain has been a constant presence. Born aboard a military air transit plane returning from Germany to the United States, Russell entered the world under difficult circumstances. His size at birth required doctors to break his collarbone during delivery, and he was diagnosed with spinal meningitis shortly after.
Russellโs brush with death came early, once while leaping off Bass Rock. Throughout his journey, one figure stood outโCoach Kingery, the head football coach at his high school. Coach Kingery recognized Russellโs natural athletic talent and became a pivotal mentor, helping him secure a football scholarship at the University of Louisville.
Russell went on to work in the airline industry and later achieved a dream by signing his first professional athletic contract with the Dallas Cowboys. He openly shares his experiences with steroid use and the toll it took. Eventually, he chose a different pathโjoining the Army and learning to fly aircraft, marking a turning point in his life.
This memoir offers a raw and inspiring glimpse into Russellโs life. I especially admired the influence of Coach Kingery, whose wisdom and encouragement were a guiding light. We all long for such a mentor in our lives. The lessons about enduring pain and finding strength are powerful, and the quotes from Coach Kingery are deeply motivating. Pain Is My Companion is a memorable read thatโs sure to resonate with many.
