Описание книги

Don Talbott was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease at the age of 41. He and his wife, Christy, spent the next decade advocating for Alzheimer's research and support for families touched by this horrible disease. Don and Christy have been involved in several studies at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2017, their story was included in a nationwide PBS documentary, «Alzheimer's: The Caregiver's Perspective.» They have received numerous awards for their dedicated advocacy and support of Alzheimer's research.<br /><br />Knowing his dad’s last item on his Bucket List was to write his story, Kyle sat down to record his dad’s words about life, experiences, and his true thoughts before and during his journey with Alzheimer’s disease. Kyle combined his dad’s stories, ideas, and experiences with his unedited poems to produce Don’s book. <br /><br />Divine intervention is the only explanation we have to describe Don’s poetry and his ability to share his journey with Kyle through this devastating disease. Looking past the Alzheimer’s stare, friends and family still see him present…the man one cannot help but love.

Отрывок из книги

Every now and then, you meet an amazing person who changes your perspective on life for the better. When this person is married to an equally awesome person, you feel as if you have won the lottery. Don and I met in 2007, during our quest to complete our Bachelor of Business Administration degrees at Averett University. We met outside of the classroom once a week to complete assignments, and through those various meetings (over a period of four years) I quickly developed a close friendship with Don and his wife, Christy.

A year into the program, Don shared his Alzheimer’s diagnosis with me. I was SHOCKED! He was so young and so smart. Through statistics and accounting classes, Don excelled with numbers and helped me pass the classes. He quickly calculated problems in his head, which earned him the role of the “bean counter” in a skit we performed for the class. If the disease was changing him, I could not see any signs of the changes. By the end of our four-year quest, I could see small changes in Don. The papers that were once easy for Don to write and organize were now constant sources of stress and aggravation. Luckily, Don made it through successfully. Our graduation was one of the happiest days of our lives! We DID it! We overcame the hurdles we faced, and achieved a dream of ours. We both were determined to balance our careers and families, while reaching towards our goal for a four-year degree. We needed to prove we could do it ourselves, but we also aspired to set the bar higher for our children. I can remember Don fighting back the tears because his parents did not live long enough to see him graduate. That was the first time I saw the raw and emotional side of the cruel Alzheimer’s disease. It is hard to watch the disease take a toll on the individual you care about and love.

My eyes closed tight I try to sleep,

But something won't let me…
