Goodnight, Bob

About this ebook
Bob was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 2002. ALS is a debilitating, neurodegenerative illness that slowly leads to paralysis and death. Goodnight, Bob speaks of the inevitable difficulties and relentless stress we experienced as our relationship slowly evolved from that of husband and wife to that of patient and caregiver.
Our story is written honestly and bluntly, with all struggles, mistakes, and pain revealed, along with the humorous, vulnerable, and loving times.
Goodnight, Bob was written with the hope that those who are living with a debilitating illness will know they are not alone.
Faye McKnight
Faye’s interest in writing began in her early teens. She enjoys writing poetry, short stories, and children’s books. The ideas for her writings come from events happening around her; the lives of her family, friends, and people she meets while traveling. Faye and Bob migrated to Orlando, Florida in 1958. She still lives in Orlando, only a few miles from their original home. She has three daughters and three grandsons. Aside from writing, she enjoys playing bridge, traveling, gardening, going to movies and plays, as well as spending time with her family. Faye wrote Goodnight Bob in the hope that others living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) know they are not alone. The book speaks honestly about the ambivalent feelings that develop between patient and caretaker. It is an honest, inspirational commentary on the lives of two people who lived with the disease.
