THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERWhat would you do with one last year?
Susan Spencer-Wendel was determined to laugh instead of cry.In June
2011, Susan Spencer-Wendel learned she had amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS) - Lou Gehrig's disease - an irreversible condition
that systematically destroys the nerves that power the muscles. She
was 44-years-old, with three young children, and she had only one
year of health remaining.She decided to live that year with joy.She
left her job as a journalist and spent time with her family. She
built a meeting place for friends in her backyard. And she took
seven trips with the seven most important people in her life. As
her health declined, Susan journeyed to the Yukon, Hungary, the
Bahamas, and Cyprus. She went to the beach with her sons and to
Kleinfeld's bridal shop in New York City with her teenage daughter,
Marina, for a glimpse of the wedding she would never attend.She
also wrote this book. No longer able to walk or even lift her arms,
she tapped it out letter by letter on her iPhone using only her
right thumb, the last finger still working.And yet Until I Say
Good-Bye is not angry or bitter. It is sad in parts - how could it
not be? - but it is filled with Susan's optimism, joie de vivre and
sens of humour. It is a book that, like Susan, will make everyone
smile. From a hilarious family Christmas disaster to the decrepit
monastery in eastern Cyprus where she rediscovered her heritage,
Until I Say Good-Bye is Susan Spencer-Wendel's unforgettable gift
to her loved ones and to us: a record of their final experiences
together and a reminder that every day is better when it is lived
with joy.
