"Be Grateful For The Shade" is a remarkable, memorable and many faceted writing depicting trials, joys and a life's path of two that became one: unbreakable even by death.  More than anything, this book, staged in real life and about monumental struggles, is a deep, passionate love story equal to the tragedies of love separated, like Romeo & Juliet; but with an enlightened epilogue of hope and inspiration about the transformation of life's love to eternal love which continues to grow every day.
