As you read this couple's transplant journey story, I hope you get as much out of it as I did along the way--learning, crying, laughing, sharing, and ultimately becoming a stronger person as I witnessed the strength in my spouse as our whole lives were turned upside down by a debilitating disease. Whether you are family, friend, or stranger going through a similar situation, as you read this book, I hope my story--told from a spouse's perspective--gives you inspiration. And I hope you stay positive, dig deep, and rely on the support of others to get you through ultimately what will be a new lease on life you never thought was possible as you wait day after day for a life-saving transplant as we did. It's funny, simple, sharp, and to the point; and I thank you for taking the time to read it.
