{"product_id":"until-i-say-good-bye","title":"Until I Say Good-Bye","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn June 2011, Susan Spencer-Wendel learned she had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) - Lou Gehrig's disease, an irreversible condition that\u003cbr\u003e\nsystematically destroys the nerves that power the muscles. While Susan cannot stop the rapid decline of her body and her inevitable death, she\u003cbr\u003e\nrefuses to give up on life. A woman of immense strength and indomitable spirit, the forty-five-year-old mother of three has made every day count.\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter her diagnosis, Susan began taking special trips: to the Yukon, to see the Northern Lights with her best friend; to Budapest, where she and\u003cbr\u003e\nher husband spent the first two years of their marriage; to Northern California, to meet her birth mother; to Cyprus, the home country of the\u003cbr\u003e\ndeceased birth father she never met. But one of her most important adventures was a visit to New York City and Kleinfeld's Bridal, where she\u003cbr\u003e\nand her fourteen-year-old daughter, Marina, shared an unforgettably moving experience: shopping for the perfect dress for a wedding Susan will\u003cbr\u003e\nnot see. 'As my beautiful daughter walks out of the dressing room in white silk, I will see her ten years in the future, in the back room right before\u003cbr\u003e\nher wedding, giddy and crying, overwhelmed by a moment I will never share . . . When my only daughter thinks of me on her wedding day, as I\u003cbr\u003e\nhope she will, I want her to think of my smile when I say to her at Kleinfeld's, 'You are my beautiful.' 'News of Susan's remarkable story has\u003cbr\u003e\nspread across the world, and the response has been overwhelming. Now, in this unforgettable memoir, she invites readers on her\u003cbr\u003e\ntransformational journey, sharing the gratitude and wisdom that guide her. 'I am writing about accepting, about living with joy and dying with joy\u003cbr\u003e\nand laughing a helluva lot in the process.' Until I Say Good-Bye is the fulfillment of her final wish: 'To make people laugh and cry and hug\u003cbr\u003e\ntheir children and joke with their friends and dwell in how wonderful it is to be alive.'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44791089299635,"sku":"9781444752489","price":280.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17478105659781444752489.jpg?v=1762851092","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/until-i-say-good-bye","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
