Excerpt from Back in the Day 2: The College Years With the little
strength he had, Thomas told us he wanted to go camping one last
time. "Consider this my dying wish and honor it, please?" Later
that night Thomas began to use the bucket more frequently than he
had been. He said he had one last thing he wanted. He told Chris he
wanted to sit on his lap and have Chris sing his favorite song to
him. They looked into each other's eyes as Chris started to sing "I
see trees of green, red roses too." We all knew what that song was.
When Chris got to the part that says "They're really sayin' I love
you," Thomas forced out the words to Chris. "I love you" and with
that Thomas closed his eyes and drew his last breath. Thomas got
everything he wanted in his final days and hours. We could see
Chris just sitting there rocking Thomas' lifeless body. Reviews for
Back in the Day: Anthony Larson Phoenix, AZ It is rare that a book
speaks to me in the way this book did. It has been a long time
since I was so taken by a book that i had to literally force myself
to put it down in order to do things like sleep and eat. I had only
gotten as far as the second paragraph when I first had the thought
that this could just as well be my story. As it turns out I would
have that thought more times than I could count. I am by no means
easily moved to tears by something I am reading; however, this book
moved me to tears a number of times. If only every teenager who
sees his or her self as being "different" in any way could have
parents like John and Sara Kendall this world would be a much
better place. Jeff Milyard Arizona The excerpt from your book
strikes home as a dear friend was beaten by both his mother and
father after discovering a love letter from his boyfriend. While I
tried to ease his pain that incident placed fear in my heart and I
never did come out.
Parakeet Races and Other Stories is a memoir that recounts the
challenges and escapades of a family of six children in the 1950's
which faces the premature death of its mother. Always authentic,
each self-contained story can be read in just a few richly
rewarding minutes that may leave the reader laughing out loud,
crying, or both. Together the stories recount the collective
memories of a remarkable set of siblings, three boys and three
girls, the father who gives it his very best, and the mother whom
the children can barely remember. The stories explore the "mystery"
of the mother's death and reflect how the death of a parent in that
era was often a topic not to be discussed or processed. The author,
Cindy Hall Ranii, is the oldest daughter in the Hall Family, and
beyond sharing the memories of her childhood and that of her
siblings, she also shares her experiences as a world traveler,
first as a teenager in Finland, then as a college student in India
and finally as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Iran. With her keen
powers of observation and respectfulness of different cultures she
gives the reader the opportunity to eavesdrop on other peoples and
other places. In the final segment of Parakeet Races Dr. Ranii
takes the reader into the world of disability. Stricken with
Transverse Myelitis, a rare neuro-immunologic disorder, she went
from playing golf one day to being paralyzed from the chest down
four days later. Her accounts of this chapter of her life are told
with the same delicious, rhythmic writing style as the other two
segments of the book. The author skillfully weaves her stories from
decade to decade, taking the reader on a journey that captivates,
entertains and challenges.
The book was born out of the death of our precious daughter Kaye.
Kaye lived a remarkable life and was an inspiration to many (none
more so than I) what greater tribute then, than to continue that
inspiration through her autobiography.
A deeply felt account of the relationship between a mother and son, and an exploration of what care for the dying means in contemporary society.
The book is emotionally complex – funny, sad and angry – but above all, heartfelt and honest. It speaks boldly of challenges faced by all of us, challenges which are often not spoken about and hidden, but which deserve urgent attention. This is first and foremost a work of the heart, a reflection on what relationships mean and should mean.
There is much in the book about relationships of care and exploitation in southern Africa, and about white Jewish identity in an African context. But despite the specific and absorbing references to places and contexts, the book offers a broader, more universal view.
All parents of adult children, and all adults who have parents alive, or have lost their parents, will find much in this book to make them laugh, cry, think and feel.
The word motivation has its origin in Latin moveres that means
moving the act to motivate is to activate an internal impulse that
leads to a specific action. A message of motivation has great power
in the subconscious of anyone, she has the ability to direct the
behavior of an individual awakening the desire, the hope, the
desire, the longing to accomplish something, to achieve a goal, to
move.
Ask yourself:
Do you believe that the other person is responsible for how you
feel? Do their actions seem like a complete mystery? Are you ready
to stop feeling angry or upset? Do you still feel hurt or sad? Are
you ready to re-build the trust within this relationship? Have you
made the decision to forgive? Are you haunted by something you said
or did to another?
If you answered YES to more than one of these questions, then this
book is for you "How To Forgive" will assist you in unraveling the
past and help you to let go of the feelings which are holding you
back. Forgiveness is a choice, but to forgive is not always easy.
In fact, many people who would like to let go of anger and forgive
are stumped with the question of how to forgive. This step-by-step
guide will help you acknowledge your emotions and deal with the
issues those emotions identify.
"Lynda Bevan offers an important contribution to the clarification
of this emotionallyloaded term: 'forgiveness'. She offers a
taxonomy of misdeeds and issues that require forgiveness and then
proceeds with guidance on how to tackle and defuse these situations
and even turn them around in one's favor. Bevan thus transforms
forgiveness from a mere ethical or moral requirement to a pragmatic
approach to the management of anger, pain, and abuse. I have rarely
encountered so much useful content packed into so little a space:
this book is a veritable energy drink "

In No Bells Will Ring, Ruth Couch draws on her experiences as an
elementary teacher to present the story of a young educator torn
between the demands of her career and the needs of her dependent
mother. Elizabeth is caught in a web of conflict as her mother
continues to engage in behavior that is increasingly troubling.
Elizabeth cannot turn to anyone for help without betraying her
mother; only faith can sustain and guide her. The author hopes that
this story will encourage those who may be struggling with career
issues or the challenge of helping a parent deal with the sorrows
and frustrations of the later years. The story is a work of
fiction. All the human characters are fictitious; the only
individual drawn from real life is Oscar the dog.
