Goodreads: Don DiMarco has a very good life – a family he loves, a comfortable lifestyle, passions and interests that keep him amused. He also thought he had time, but that turned out not to be the case. Faced with news that might have immediately felled most, Don now wonders if he has time enough. Time enough to show his wife the romance he didn’t always lavish on her. Time enough to live out his most ambitious fantasies. Time enough to close the circle on some of his most aching unresolved relationships. Summoning an inner strength he barely realized he possessed, Don sets off to prove that twelve months is time enough to live a life in full.
A glorious celebration of each and every moment that we’re given here on Earth, as well as the eternal bonds that we all share, TWELVE MONTHS is a stirring testament to the power of the human spirit.
Ope’s Opinion: I would actually give it three and a half chairs ( I just don’t have a half of a friend! ).
This book was very well written. It was not as sad or morbid as I thought it could have been. It was nice to see how one man would handle knowing his limit of time left with the people he loved and the people he wanted to influence.
Twelve Months, made me stop to think about how well I took care of those who have already left this earth. Was I as supportive as Bella was? Did I allow them to do what they needed to do so they could leave in peace? It also makes me think – what do I need to do now, instead of waiting?
I think this book will be with me long after I pass it on to other people. ” Leave more then you take” is the best quote from the book.
Rating: Three Chairs – I like this book enough to suggest it to a friend or two.
