Each of us has a story to tell, a lifetime of trips and parties, first loves and heart breaks, the joys of birth and the grief of death. Each life creates a beautifully unique tapestry. My Life, Not Yours is the tapestry of one man’s life, from his childhood up until becoming a grandparent, and with those years comes a tremendous amount of wisdom and even more laughs.
