Opis

Why would a memior written by and about Sally and Jim Gilmore be subtitled A Life of Small Stories? Because Sally always claimed we were one person, locked together for life. Unfortunately Sally contracted Lewy Body, a deadly form of Parkinson Disease in 2004. In 2008 her doctors said she should be place in a long-term care facility. They predicted she wouldn't survive for more than a couple of months. When I was wheeling her to her private room at the Ingham County Medical Facility on Dobie Road, she angrily snapped, "We've Split " Actually, we never did. I visited and fed her lunch every day until she died in 2013. This memoir contains small stories from our Tokyo and East Lansing years.
