The Seasons of My Life is a book that I wish my mother had written. Growing up, I was never very interested in hearing her tell stories of her life. I was always more interested in going out to play. As I got older and had my own family, I was always too busy with my life to sit and listen to her experiences. How sorry I am now that I never really knew my own mother.

This is also a book that I hope my kids and grandkids will someday write. I hope it will also be inspirational to many others to start their own family tradition. How great would it be to pick up a book and read about your parents, grandparents, or even great-grandparents; to know what their life was really like way back when; to know of the struggles they faced, their likes and dislikes, successes and failures, their loves and their regrets, and what made them the way they were.

I also believe this would be a wonderful book for book club members to read. It will get the thoughts and memories flowing back about their own life experiences. I wrote this book so that my kids and grandkids and also the rest of my family and friends will know who I am and why I do the things I do. For others who read it, this book is not for you to know who I was but to get you to think about who you are.

This is the second book I have written. My first book titled Our Journey is still available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. It covers a ten-year period in my life from the time my wife was first diagnosed with Alzheimer's until she took her last breath while in my arms.
