“…as sad and as painful as it is to lose someone, caring for them at the end of their life is a gift to give them and to have had the experience of giving.”
…and now I write this blog. Here I share my thoughts about topics that hide behind the links in the left sidebar.
My book, Tea with Dad, Finding Myself in My Father’s Life (Green Place Books) comes out June 1, 2021. Check your local independent bookstore. You can also preorder it at Bookshop.org, Indiebound.org, Amazon.com, or Barnesandnoble.com. These links will take you right to the information about the book on those sites.
I’m glad you dropped by. Get to know me. Let me get to know you. I hope this visit won’t be your last.
All in Family
“…as sad and as painful as it is to lose someone, caring for them at the end of their life is a gift to give them and to have had the experience of giving.”
“…I knew I was missing important things about Dad’s last Thanksgiving. It seemed vital to me to remember, especially on this first major holiday without him.”
“I’ve been trying to remember last Thanksgiving. I can’t. Not a bit of it. And I’m not sure why. I remember all the others.”
I received my book cover proof and signed off on it. All done. Then I printed a copy of the spread and folded it as though wrapping it around my memoir's pages, so it looked like a book.
This year will be very different. No children, no grandchildren, no trip to New Jersey. Still, I am grateful.
