Love and connection through a family’s changing circumstances

The questions they face—about changes to his abilities, the things he loves, and how to remain connected—give the story its focus. Told as a true family account, the book centers on accepting difficult changes and finding different ways to express love as the grandfather’s condition progresses.

Book overview

When we were told my grandfather had a rare brain disease, we were not only brokenhearted but also fearful of what his future would look like. Doctors told us most of his muscles would weaken and, over time, stop working. We had so many questions: Will he be able to keep doing the things he loves? How quickly will the changes begin to take place? And, most importantly, how do we stay connected to him?

 

This is a true story about how my family and I learned to accept the struggles my grandfather experienced and how we were determined to find different ways to show our love.
