Book Cover & Preview Text
. Little feet ran without abandon, laughing and out of breath, willing to bring the ball back to the man they adored. Grandpa. A man they all looked up to with love and maybe a little fear. For he was also the man to douse them with a bucket of water or tease them with plastic spiders, tell them their hair would fall out like his and watch in delight as they squirmed when he milked their pigeons and gave them horse bites. Grandpa. No other man could fill his place. He was theirs. And he would travel thousands of miles to attend their baptisms, sing happy birthday or take them camping. Grandpa. A man who sat in his wheelchair with an incurable disease, pain and weakness wracking his body, and joy pumping from his failing heart to play a game of ball with his grandkids. Grandpa. A man who lived and breathed for his family.

About the Book
Have you ever stopped to wonder what your legacy will be? How do you want to be remembered? These meaningful questions lie hidden within every human being’s heart; will I be forgotten? Do I matter? In this compelling memoir, TiNille Petersen shares the story of witnessing her Father suffer from a painful and incurable disease and the unshakable faith that he inspired in others. This experience rocked her entire existence, forcing her to look deep within for the wisdom she learned from a Cowboy she calls, “Papa,” and uncovers the true meaning of his words, “Your life is not your own.”
