Footprints: A Memoir (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This memoir is a collection of stories and thoughts that I had written for my sons. I wanted them to have a chance to read some interesting and, possibly, entertaining anecdotes from my life before and after meeting their mother. I also wanted to share some important things I have observed and learned along the way, including the impact Parkinson's disease has had on my life. I would love to know more about my ancestors, so if any of this material gets passed down to future generations, I think that would be great.

My parents started this idea by videotaping my mom's father in his elder years telling stories from years gone by. I have a copy of this tape. I did some videotaping with my mom a few years ago and have preserved that on DVDs. I am choosing this format because I enjoy writing. All but the epilogue of this memoir was written between January and October 2009. The epilogue was added in June 2012 and April 2013. I am publishing this "lightly-edited" version for those who may have interest in knowing more about my life after reading any or all of my PD-related books. Additionally, I hope it might stimulate ideas for those who may be thinking about writing their own memoir.
