Two more hardbacks to replace paperbacks! 😍😍
Wine and ramen. Living the good life.
"I learned that she was and is a work in progress- a human being evolving in the world-and that no one, least of all me, should try to guess what her limits are. Being a mother is about protecting your children from every conceivable thing that might cause them hurt, but it's also about trusting them to live the best way for them, the best way they can; and trusting that even when you're not there to hold their hand, they can succeed."
"I love my baby," she said, quite simply. "Like, with this force I had no idea was possible. It's almost like I want to fight someone, even though there is no one to fight."
How can a book be so heartbreaking yet heartwarming at the same time?
I didn't want this story to end!

Heart warming and heart wrenching at the same time 💝 some pages had the ability to make you laugh and cry at the same time.
Well worth a read.

Literally the last day's leave before full on start of academic year - had plans for a long lie in and woke up at 7am. Tea and a read in bed now.
Both kids forgot I was off today and have made plans. I have the afternoon to myself 😀😀 this never happens - I forget the last time I was actually in the house on my own. Stay in and read? Go out and spend money???
Feeling sick and put myself to bed with a book after work. Started this one when I got home today and loving it so far.
"What will be left of us all, is the love we have given and received." #loveisallaround #whattheworldneedsnow
Oops. New paragraph in the middle of a sentence. #readingblock #onceyouseeit
looking at my reflection, in the window opposite, hollow and translucent, I see a woman disappearing. It would help if I looked like that in real life – if the more the disease advanced, the more ‘see-through‘ I became until, eventually, I would be just a wisp of a ghost. How much more convenient it would be, how much easier for everyone, including me, if my body just melted away along with my mind.
I find this sentences very weird. 😕
Just finished this book.
A contemporary read, dealing with Alzheimer.
Interesting storyline, charming characters.
Being a mother is about protecting your children from every conceivable thing that might cause them hurt,but it's also about trusting them to live the best way for them,the best way they can;& trusting that even when you're not there to hold their hand,they can succeed.
Once I discover a writer that I like, I just want to read all his/her books. This time is Rowan Coleman. This is the 3rd book that I'm reading
I loved this book, very thought provoking and good that it showed Alzheimer's from different perspectives
Printed under a different title in the UK... Loved this. So. Many. Tears. Just bought as a present for my mum.
