A Gift...Only Borrowed

About this ebook
"A Gift…Only Borrowed" is a compelling narrative of the recollection of what it is like to be a young father shrouded by the challenges surrounding his family's life during an extremely difficult time, the death of one of his children.
Navigating the maze through the death of a child can be a bumpy road. Those jumbled twists and turns are usually viewed through weary and teary eyes.
Do I have all the answers to survive this journey? I'm not even sure I knew all the right questions to ask.
You might be familiar with the destination, but might not recognize the trip taken, "One heart beat at a time."
"God doesn't promise us an easy journey…
…just a safe place to land."
Kirk Spencer

After retiring from over 50 years in the grocery retailing business, where I began as a bagger in a grocery store, moved into store management, became a grocery buyer, and finished my career as the president of a large food broker focused on retail solutions for my clients and a national grocery customer. I wrote this book 30 years after the birth and death of one of my daughters. It chronicles all the challenges trying to navigate this journey.
