I received this book as a gift during a tough time in my life, and I was nowhere near old, but the humor and reality mixed within these pages and lines were definitely uplifting, tear inducing at times, and definitely brought a smile to my lips. Every woman should own a copy of this book.

Inspired from the poem WARNING! This book explores the themes of aging, dealing with aging parents, embracing the gifts & griefs of aging. It's funny, it's sad, and it could affirm or comfort people dealing with these issues as adult children "loving" their parents into the advancing years.

An important, moving, nd life-affirming book....The various works speak about dignity, about caring, and about respect. About saying goodbye to old friends and hello to new ones...About not growing old gracefully, if that's what suits you.
