I decided to write this ebook at my wife's insistence. She has a relative who is facing the issue described in this story. I told her at first, that, although her relative's situation was tragic, it was not unique. I tried to tell her that there are so many stories of this type that I doubted that anybody would read it. She finally told me that it was okay if I didn't want to write it, that she understood that sometimes writers had to admit that they had lost their creative juices and could no longer write a story that anybody would want to read. Having read the above paragraph, you probably know why I decided that, perhaps, I could approach the story in a way that it would cover several identical or similar stories at once.
I dedicate this book to my wife, Lulu, for her powers of delicate persuasion.
This is really my wife.
