Couldn't Have Found This at a Better Time!

As my dad has reached 82 and still lives alone at home, I truly appreciate all the guidance I received from this book. It's full of practical advice on medical needs, financial considerations, and end-of-life planning. But I found the chapters on embracing the journey, and reflections and gratitude the most rewarding. It reminded me of so many fond memories I need to appreciate and capture as I move forward with him. Thank you, Janet! It's very well thought out and organized! Highly recommended!
