Lee was the type of dad you could call day or night with a flat tire, and he would come running. If a neighbor needed groceries, he would appear at the door with grocery bags. He was a U.S. Navy veteran, an entrepreneur, and a father of four daughters. So imagine how it rocked the family dynamics when he could no longer balance his checkbook or assemble a flashlight.
“Dancing with Lewy” is a story of this man, my dad. You will get to know him both through stories from his early life, and via his poetry wound throughout the book. This is the story of how we “danced” around his Lewy body dementia. There were times of frustration, anger, and desperation. There were also times of humor and kindness. It was a push-pull, a “dance” that sometimes went well and sometimes went horribly.
Dads and moms, this is a story of how your actions affect your children, even when they are adults. Sons and daughters, see if you identify with my personal struggles as a caretaker. “Dancing with Lewy” is a book of life-lessons. It has been described as “A beacon to families” (D. Carr) and “A must read for every caretaker” (M. Foscarini). https://nancyrpoland.com/?page_id=108
