Synopsis

Jerry and Judy Aaker have had an interesting journey through life. In this book Jerry tells stories of his childhood growing up on a small farm in Minnesota, finding his passion in life through experiences in the army, as a volunteer in England, travel and falling in love with Judy in a State Hospital. In their long marriage and journey together, he reflects on how they discerned their calling to work and serve in many countries in response to human needs caused by natural disasters, war and poverty, including stories from Peru, Vietnam, and Nicaragua. Here Jerry recalls people and experiences that changed his life, as well as reflections on mountains, saying goodbye to pets, his father's death, their son's cancer, the worth of one's work in life, old age and the inevitability of death.
