After an emergency landing, she discovered that Dave—a healthy thirty-year-old athlete and surgical resident—had suffered a rare and life- threatening stroke. Next thing Allison knew, she was sitting alone in the ER in Fargo, North Dakota, waiting to hear if her husband would survive the night. When Dave woke up, he could not carry memories from hour to hour, much less from one day to the next. Allison lost the Dave she knew and loved when he lost consciousness on the plane. Within a few months, she found herself caring for both a newborn and a sick husband, struggling with the fear of what was to come. As a way to make sense of the pain and chaos of their new reality, Allison started to write daily letters to Dave. Not only would she work to make sense of the unfathomable experiences unfolding around her, but her letters would provide Dave with the memories he could not make on his own. She was writing to preserve their past, protect their present, and fight for their future. Those letters became the foundation for this beautiful, intimate memoir. And in the process, she fell in love with her husband all over again. This is a manifesto for living, an ultimately uplifting story about the transformative power of faith and resilience. It’s a tale of a husband’s turbulent road to recovery, the shifting nature of marriage, and the struggle of loving through pain and finding joy in the broken places. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 191057 KB). 650 0 Cerebrovascular disease|xPatients|vBiography.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Cerebral ischemia.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Young adults|xDiseases|vBiography.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Cerebrovascular disease|xPatients|xFamily relationships. |vSound recordings. 650 0 Husband and wife|vBiography.|vSound recordings. 650 0 Caregivers|vBiography.|vSound recordings. 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3656505 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=2e605905- 88d9-47a5-97fc-f2506196c769&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1191-1/ %7B2E605905-88D9-47A5-97FC-F2506196C769%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1191-1/ %7B2E605905-88D9-47A5-97FC-F2506196C769%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
