This book is personally passionate. In Sickness and in Health: A Celebration of Spousal Caregivers emerges from within the passion of Jim's personal experience. He refuses to let ALS write the last chapter; he is writing it himself. You may be wondering how he gathered the energy to write In Sickness and in Health: A Celebration of Spousal Caregivers. His passion for adding value to the lives of others compelled him to pick up his pen with his ALS-impacted hand and honor those who invest their hearts and souls giving care to others. His life's experiences told him that he must tell the story in order to shed light on the unsung heroes in the home. The tender touch of those who care and are caregivers just strikes the chords of the heart. He remembers his mother taking care of her husband (his father). And now he experiences his wife (and his daughter) taking care of her husband (him).
