lovely travelogue Feb 20, 2008
Thoroughly enjoyed this lovely travelogue of devoted husband and caregiver Ted during his brief respite from taking care of his beloved wife Corky who suffers from multiple sclerosis. Ted travels cross country to visit daughters on each coast and along the way documents his trip with lovely photographs and commentary. Throughout his journey, Corky is with him in spirit.
Ten Days in January A Journey Feb 07, 2008
This delightful book briefly tells the story of a man who is taking a cross country trip as a respite from the full time care of his wife who has had MS for over forty years. In just a few pages of text, Ted manages to give the reader a sense of the daily struggles and joys of the caregiver and the love he continues to have for his wife, Corky. The photography is fantastic! The narrative that goes along with the photos is light and entertaining. I really enjoyed it!
MORE THAN YOU THINK Jan 30, 2008
If you learn nothing else from this book, it is that caregiving can take any shape or form, depending on the persons and circumstances. There are no limits as to when, where or how long. But do it, for the wellbeing of both.
The other thing I learned was that to live in a place of incredible beauty like Sedona, AZ is one thing; to experience Ted and Corky's caregiving relationship is like icing on the cake or snow on the mountaintop.
You have never experienced anything like it, and never will again. That includes the book itself - the pictures, the story, the fulness and joy of caregiving.

What an Inspiring Journey! Jan 27, 2008
What an inspiring journey for caregivers! This book presents a beautifully photographed trip, taken by a caring man, as a brief respite from his 24/7 job as caregiver for his lovely wife, Corky.
It serves as an inspiration for any and all caregivers; it places the situation of a caregiver into a sensitive and loving perspective.
The message I took from the book is that being a caregiver does not mean giving up a life - instead, it means expanding two lives.
