An amazing book

I just finished reading the book on Kindle. I appreciated the fact that this book was available on Kindle, because I have ALS and this makes it difficult for me to turn pages on regular books. The onset for me was with my right hand weakness, and I have been using breathing machine for 3.5 yrs. I've picked up a lot of good tips from reading Kathy's and David's creative approach for handling day to day challenges living with ALS. This book was very heart warming and up lifting for me. Thank you David for sharing Kathy's story. Reading this book gave me the encouragements I needed at this point in my life. The book is inspirational, captivating, and very well written.
