This book is divided into two sections: the first 56 years and the last 8 months. 56 years fly by in an instant. They are years filled with happiness, sadness, accomplishments, failures, but most of all...with humor and love. When your husband is diagnosed with esophageal cancer, family dynamics come into play.Since dealing with life has always been a family affair, why should dealing with death be any different? We had a wonderful journey for 56 years, and we all joined Gerry on his final journey for 8 months, making the transition heart warming as well as heart breaking. Portions of the proceeds will be given to the MHE Coalition, Caringbridge.org and Hospice of Orange and Sullivan Counties.
