Star Benchwarmers

A Family Memoir

Beschreibung

Just like in flying, emergencies can happen at any time in life when we least expect them. Things are going smoothly and life throws us a "curve ball". How we react to those situations is often more important than anything else. When that challenge involves an illness or death of a loved one, the stakes and the tension of the game of life are the highest of all. This is the true story of a family living in Texas, suddenly confronted with the stark reality of brain cancer. Adapting to this common enemy, the family pulled together in a collective support network to help the mother deal with the crisis, while reminiscing and savoring the special moments they have enjoyed together over the years. This is a memoir of Linda Kay Eggspuehler...a mother, wife, friend, homemaker, surgical technologist, and so much more. She was the rock and foundation of this family. She touched so many lives with her gentle love and compassion. This memoir is dedicated to her children, so that their children will know who she was a little better.
