Don Talbott was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 41. He and his wife, Christy, spent the next decade advocating for Alzheimer’s research and support for families touched by this horrible disease. Don and Christy have been involved in several studies at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. In 2017, their story was included in a nationwide PBS documentary, Alzheimer’s: The Caregiver’s Perspective. They have received numerous awards for their dedicated advocacy and support of Alzheimer’s research.

Knowing his dad’s last item on his Bucket List was to write his story, Kyle sat down to record his dad’s words about life, experiences, and his true thoughts before and during his journey with Alzheimer’s disease. Kyle combined his dad’s stories, ideas, and experiences with his unedited poems to produce Don’s book.

Divine intervention is the only explanation we have to describe Don’s poetry and his ability to share his journey with Kyle through this devastating disease. Looking past the Alzheimer’s stare, friends and family still see him present…the man one cannot help but love.
