About this ebook
Devastated by his beloved wife’s affliction with dementia, Gari Andreini
began writing poetry to release his feelings. The result is this small
but powerful book of poems. The collection delves into themes of
gut-wrenching sadness and the frailties of existence, ultimately leaving
the reader understanding the large impact Milli Andreini had on
everyone in her life.
This collection of poems speaks to one family’s wrestling with the
tragedy of dementia, and can hopefully help any other family going
through something similar.
Some poems will leave you wondering. Some will leave you crying.
Some pose questions with no tangible answers.
This is for a grandmother who…will always be loved.
