Review Quotes:
I opened this book and started reading and felt like I was in the authors life as his journey unfolded. This book is written about the Love for the authors mother her life and all that she touched before the dreaded disease of Alzheimer's took over.

This book will make you laugh, cry and experience every emotion in between. As I read through the author's detailed account of his and his family's heartbreak as they were separated from Sharon as she struggles with the horrific disease Alzheimers during Covid, his words pierced my memory of my own mother's long fight and ultimate demise from it. He stresses his love and appreciation for his mom in how she raised her family and was a dedicated wife, grandmother, aunt and friend to many. The love never dies, but sadly her memories have. Read this book to get a very gripping understanding of the seemingly never ending hell families, caregivers and Alzheimers patients go through. It's a real wake up call. - Ramblingrose1

Beautifully written tribute to a love that can never be paralleled. Thank you for giving me confirmation that I was not alone. - Cac Stiner
