This author, like many of us, is a middle-aged member of the baby boom generation, and finds himself taking care of an elderly and ailing parent. But what was so moving to me was the level of loyalty and devotion that he offers his quite ill father. In relating his journey on paper, he makes it clear from the start that nothing would take precedence over his dad. No one was going to stand in the way of him properly caring for his father.
I enjoyed this book, and can tell you that it is okay for a man to cry (my wife did too as she read the book) when he sees such an improbable level of compassion and caring. It is rare today to see children care so strongly for their parents, so if I ever need him, I hope that I can clone this author.
Great book.

The help that this author offers to adult care-providers, in the form of his past experiences, is beyond equal. But what also makes the book so appealing to read is the thought and care that he gives to telling a pleasurable story of how normal life can quickly throw us a curveball - causing even the best laid long-term plans to be discarded in order to provide care for an ailing parent.
Bravo! Excellent offering about life, and the challenges that it often presents!
