This book was inspired by my son, Michael. He was 54 and had a stroke. Even after that, he had a positive attitude and a sense of humor.

I went to California to take care of him. He always took a bag of cheese puffs in the bedroom with him. He was given Carmichael as a gift; he always kept it with him. When he got up in the morning, Michael would laugh and say that it was Carmichael getting into the cheese puffs. We had many laughs about it.
