"When Rundy Purdy was twenty-four years old he began caring for his grandfather who was dying from Alzheimer?s. Grandfather and grandson took a three year journey together to Alzheimer?s end. Rundy?s book The Sea is Wide: A Memoir of Caregiving is the story of that journey. After the death of his grandfather, Rundy cared for his grandmother who was ailing with heart disease for an additional five years. Those eight years of intensive, personal, caregiving gave Rundy a passion for sharing his experience and encouraging other who face the reality of caregiving." /
