This book is about my father. In 2015, he experienced an ischemic stroke and was in the hospital and a rehabilitation center for twenty-one days. I was there every day. I was scared and nervous. A few days into it, I decided to keep a mini journal, jotting down observations, conversations, and some of my own personal feelings throughout this experience. It started to get therapeutic. Then I decided that it may be a good way to share with my dad what happened if he doesn't remember. I think of it like that night out with that one friend that didn't drink anything and can tell you what happened.
