Until the Wheels Fall Off

A deeply personal story about love, commitment, and what "'til death do us part" really looks like—and how you find a way to live again after facing your deepest pain. This story will make you cry, laugh, get angry, and feel something real. As human beings, we all experience some form of pain— the pain of disappointment from family and friends, the pain of job loss or unexpected career changes, the pain of a breakup or divorce, and the pain of losing someone we love. In this game of life, pain is inevitable. What matters is how we respond to it— how we carry it, how we manage it, and ultimately, how we find a way to move forward. Until the Wheels Fall Off is a deeply personal memoir that reflects on a 29-year relationship and the life built within it. Through a series of real-life moments and reflections, the author reveals what it looks like to move forward after everything has changed — going from a house full of life… to being the only life in that same house. But this story is more than loss. It is a story about commitment—what it truly looks like when life doesn't go as planned, and how showing up for the people you love—and for yourself—requires more than words.
