Publisher's Synopsis
From his pillow, lying as sturdily as he was able, he could just glimpse the sky. Day after day, he turned his head and positioned it so he could watch sunset over the ocean. His intent was unmistakable. He could have looked at the wall - that would have been easier. I started to record what he saw in the sky. I thought it would be just a few sunsets. The vet gave him less than a week. It was more, and now the collection of those sky images is this tribute to him. For all he taught; how he kept laughter abounding; how he pointed out that a positive attitude could heal us all, and that believing sometimes just made it so. Gerry was never anyone's pet. He never had an owner. He was and remains a parallel soul. Whatever your beliefs, look into his eyes and compare them to the setting sun as it evolves through this chronicle - Gerry's goodbye. You'll see the deeper layer. It's the story within every beloved companion's eyes; the expression of a spirit so giving that he is in your life purely to support you. Love doesn't come any cleaner. Gerry's Sky is a true story about dying, but more so it is about learning to live fully with the fragility that is life, and in doing so, discovering how to say goodbye.
