Product description...

A BATTLE OF WILLS

“I swallowed hard when I noticed Billy watching me, looking for confirmation that I could command this monster. I stood. False confidence and a forced smile squeezed past my lips.” I took Billy’s hand and together we leapt into a final field of wild abandon, waging war against the Alzheimer’s monster. Family and friends were recruited soldiers, adventure our warfare, and love and patience our refuge. The fierce war in Billy’s mind raged for three short years, and the scars of battles fought and lost will remain forever etched in my heart. Early-Onset Alzheimer’s disease without a genetic component itself is quite rare, and a twist in the last days of our journey revealed a possible and yet rarer diagnosis of Multiple System Atrophy. Spiritual growth and maturity were continual by-products of releasing the reins of a planned out future and free-falling through clouds of the unknown, fully aware of the painful impact that could occur at any given moment.
