Bobblehead Dad: 25 Life Lessons I Forgot I Knew

An inspirational account of one dad’s extraordinary journey through cancer, fatherhood, and several forgotten life lessons–and the discovery of one life-changing gift. Jim Higley was a forty-year-old bobblehead. Just like those collectible figurines with oversized, bouncy heads, he’d put on a smiling face and bobble through his hectic, overflowing days.  Dads Life T-Shirts, Fathers Day Gifts, Funny Men Shirts, Daddy T-Shirt

Higley’s bobbling came to a screeching halt with the diagnosis of cancer, surgery, and a summer of healing. More than a cancer story, however, Bobblehead Dad puts you in a front-row seat as the author discovers the illuminating parallels between events in his childhood and his adulthood. Higley, whose weekly fatherhood column appears in the Chicago Tribune’s TribLocal, unwraps poignant lessons from his family history with rich, vivid detail. His story reveals meaning in simple moments and the people who fill them–including the surprise discovery of his most important lesson, which had been quietly waiting for over thirty years.

-Tom Gusky

Tom Gusky does not believe in fifty-dollar words or mysterious hidden messages in his poetry. Instead, he prefers to share a tender and sometimes tongue-in-cheek lyrical view of life that reflects on the bonds of family love, the trials and joys of raising children, and the experiences that draw all of us closer to God.

Emotional and soul searching read, all of which are relevant if you take the time to re-read the words and understand them. I was lucky enough to win this book on Goodreads and I am glad I did as this is not normally a book I would read! How wrong was I!!!
