Product description...

Super Bowl champions need help too!

My Father’s Chair is a poignant reflection on the complexities of caregiving and familial love. The author navigates the painful transition from seeing a larger-than-life father—the NFL star famed for his Super Bowl victories—to confronting the vulnerability of his increasing need for care. As he grapples with the imminence of his father's mortality, he explores themes of grace, forgiveness, and the often-unrecognized humanity of our loved ones. Through candid recollections of their shared experiences and heart-wrenching lessons learned in moments of conflict, he reveals his struggle to extend the compassion he craves while navigating caregiver burnout. Balancing memories of childhood admiration with the harsh truths of adulthood, this memoir invites readers to reflect on the importance of honoring our parents, acknowledging our failures, and embracing the transformative power of repentance and grace in restoring relationships. Ultimately, it serves as a heartfelt reminder that love transcends even the most challenging circumstances, urging us to cherish those we hold dear before it’s too late.

“One of the best examples of self-reflection and vulnerability I’ve ever seen. Having two parents that are currently taking care of my grandparents, I immediately recommended that my parents read this book. I’d also recommend those not caretaking to read it because of the level of love and accountability Ian shows.” – Lowell Rose, Former NFL Cornerback, Miami Dolphins
