The book begins as Ashley Hertzog Embry tells her “Papa Bear\u201d how he narrowly cheated death. With her father still in a coma, she wrote to him when she couldn\u2019t talk to him, clinging to the faith that one day he would wake up and read her words. He did awake, and the words kept coming. She wrote to him every day throughout his recovery, encouraging his progress, and keeping tabs on the day-to-day details that his recuperating short-term memory struggled to retain.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]When Papa\u2019s recovery took a sudden downturn, his devoted daughter picked up her pen again, holding out hope for a miracle that never came. With a broken heart surprisingly filled with gratitude, Ashley continued to write through her loss to provide an intimate account of the grieving process one day at a time. Read along as she journeys through seasons of hope, joy, fear, sorrow and, most of all, love.<\/p>\n
