"Once your goodbye is perfect, you have to leave me and not look back. Life your life..it's an awful thing to miss someone whose still here."

"A great brain can never be kept on Earth."

Holy shit. Fredrik Backman...sir who hurt you? Why do you do this to us? Why do we keep doing it to ourselves. 

I've read/listened to 3 things by this author and each has destroyed me in it's own way. I have a few more on the shelf but I think I'll have to take a little break before I decide to dabble any further. 
Coming in at just about an hour; this is a beautiful novella that dabbles with one gentlemen's struggle with dementia and his family's struggle to care for him in this difficult time. 

Proceed with caution. As someone who has worked in healthcare and experienced dementia firsthand, and someone that has (had) a close relationship with my grandparents; this just hits in a away I was not prepared. 

That's all I have to say. You've been warned.
