    About this ebook

    Alcohol kills not just the body but the mind, spirit, and soul. It is the greatest liar, thief, and murderer of all time. It not alone destroys the recipient but all he loves and cherishes. It leaves the victim empty, lost, confused--without. It is the most patient of assassins, and believe it or not, it is patiently waiting for you, as it did for me.

      Unlearnable Lessons on My Father’s Deathbed

      Mar 21, 2017

      I was at my father’s side much of the time in his final weeks, a witness to both the gifts and miseries of being near death. Nurses came and went, patient, long-suffering. They sat beside him for hours at a time, dousing spongy lollipops in water and

      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i
