One Puddle Too Many

By Anthony Miller

Ashley Miller Biography (One Puddle Too Many)
The Title (One Puddle Too Many)

The Title (One Puddle too many) comes from the book “I Can Jump Puddles” by Alan Marshall who at an early age contracted poliomyelitis (better known as polio or infantile paralysis) and was crippled at a very early age. Polio in Alan’s time (early 20th Century) inflicted many young people and the medical world would struggle to stop the infliction. In my early age (the 1960s) polio was not a concern as a simple injection and later oral medication took it off the radar. For Ashley there were too many puddles to jump as his life finished 12th May, 2008 at the young age of eighteen. However just like medical research found prevention for Polio I believe Medical Research will find cures for “Caps” Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, cerebral palsy or any other inflictions people find themselves having to deal with but it requires as much support as possible. This includes stem cell research and I call on everyone to set aside religious or other moral beliefs as even though it is too late for Ashley there are others who suffer and anyone with any kind of empathy must be saddened to see children or anyone suffer like Ashley did throughout his life.
Edited with the assistance of Margaret Langdon.
Maggie has done a great job formatting the two ebooks I have published so
far, and they have both been accepted into Smashwords' premium catalogue.
She also copy edited and proofread my second book, 'Tales from the Long Red
Line'. I definitely recommend the services of Ebook Assist to authors
wanting to self-publish ebooks.
