Living with a chronic debilitating disease can be devastating. For the author Willis Merriman, it is more of a thoughtful adventure. Merriman, an octogenarian has been living with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) for over 20 years. Through the process of diagnosis, to life adjustments, to learning to be a kid again, this book reads more like a thoughtful and at times entertaining journey about life. Through personal reflection, wisdom, positivity and humor Merriman provides a guide for living with a chronic disease, growing old, and the importance of altering perspective and appreciating what "is." This guide would benefit those who are living with a chronic disease as well as their family members and caregivers, and basically anyone who is willing to learn about the circle of life through a realistic and humorous lens.
