Today is my #memoir's 4th birthday. It wasn't until I wrote the preface that I realized writing the #book was my way of sitting #kaddish for my father who died of early-onset #Alzheimer's. Dr. Bruce Miller, #neurologist at #UCSF, sat kaddish w/me. I will be eternally grateful.
Acknowledging that I will never recover from how my father died has strangely liberated me to remember him (with and w/o the disease -- I had forgotten the latter) & help others.
