A Grandfather wrote The Gift to help younger generations live better lives by passing down his wisdom, knowledge, and lessons learned. The book is in three parts. The first is "Life Basics," things you need to know now to understand life and help navigate your life's journey. The second part is the author's story: "One Journey Through Life." It's a journey from childhood into retirement and beyond. Chapter 19 discusses issues with the closing days of life and how to prepare for the Final Curtain. "Wisdom Gained" concludes The Gift by providing all the wisdom the author can provide which can impact your life for the better. For The Gift to have a positive effect, you need to put its teachings into action.
