The Widower's Mite William M Schmalfeldt Sr

A true life telling of the parable of the Widow's Mite. Author William M. Schmalfeldt, Sr., wanted to tell the world about his participation in a clinical trial to test the safety of deep brain stimulation in the early stages of Parkinson's disease. Yet, he wasn't able to appreciate the quiet charity through suffering unfolding in his own home until it was almost too late. A story of love, honor, respect and making the transition from being cared for to caregiver, the reader will see how Schmalfeldt came to realize what he had given was no big thing compared to the love and selflessness of his soulmate. There is beauty in deterioration, there is strength in weakness. And most of all, there is grace in the approach of death.
