My Review
I think this book is a positive read for young adults to seniors. For the young and old, the author reinforces important things, such as acceptance, love, and quality of life. His experience and wisdom shines through when writing about caregiving, the sick, and planning for aging.
I also appreciated how Mr. Otis described love and how our hearts can love more than one person. While death can take away people earlier than we'd like, humans still need emotional bonding and companionship.
There is a lot of solid information on preparing for aging and beyond.
