Patrick O’Shea and Salvatore Boschetto have been friends since they met in second grade – almost eighty years ago. One morning, Pat receives a call – Sal is dying. As Pat considers this and starts to plan Sal’s final services, memories flood him. Memories ranging from their first meeting to the crash of Wall Street, to Roosevelt’s death, to the landing of Apollo. Each reflection uncharacteristically switches from third person to first person so that the character can come out of the book and tell you the story personally – with all of the emotion they felt as well. As Pat and his daughter Julie prepare for Sal’s final rest, they uncover things about Sal that even they – as close as family as they are – did not know. Things that shine a light on the man and his sense of purpose and honor.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Some friendships last a lifetime. Others become part of who we are.In 2002, eighty-one-year-old Patrick O'Shea receives a telephone call he has always known would someday come. His oldest friend, Salvatore Boschetto, is critically ill and has asked for him.For Pat, the journey to the hospital becomes a journey through more than seventy years of memories.They met as boys in 1929-Patrick, the son of Irish immigrants, and Salvatore, the first of his Italian family born in America. What began at a shared school desk grew into a friendship that would carry them through the Great Depression, war, love, loss, family, and a changing America neither boy could have imagined.Together they witnessed history. Together they survived it.Through triumph and tragedy, laughter and heartbreak, Pat and Sal remained the one constant in each other's lives, discovering along the way that family isn't always determined by blood-and that the people who shape us never truly leave us.Now, as Pat faces the possibility of losing the man who has walked beside him for nearly a lifetime, the memories return with extraordinary clarity, reminding him of the promises they made, the sacrifices they shared, and a friendship strong enough to endure almost anything.Through the Mists of Memories is an emotional journey across generations-a story of friendship, family, sacrifice, and the moments that stay with us long after the years themselves have faded.

Pancreatic cancer is taking his friend of nearly 80 years.

As Sal's condition fluctuates and worsens-Pat and his daughter Julie face the deepest obstacle: saying all of the essential things before time runs out, and accepting what it means to outlive the last person who truly remembers your life.
