Reviews "David Wayne Silva...has 'been there, done that' and now shares his experience with chronic health issues, deterioration of the body, isolation and loneliness after loss of a loved one or friends, and even issues like sleeping and mainitaing relationships...Reading Sivlas' book had me sit back and get in touch with my own decisions of how I wanted to live my remaining years...Silva's book confirmed in my mind that I'm the one that has to choose whether or not I want to live the Golden Years with grace and dignity, or, with complaints and isolation...Although Silva targets the senior citiizens and Baby Boomers wiith this book, I highly recommend 'Senior Moments' to children and families fo both. Silva gives a clear and consise understanding of seniors--many things we don't know about unless we experience them ourselves."--Irene Watson, Reader Views, 5/06 "Senior Moments is a well-written, well-edited, and poetically inspirational collection of thoughts and experiences. David's lyrical prose style makes one stop and reread a verse or two for the pleasure and feel of it...David Silva urges the reader to 'look at the process of aging with humor and good intentions...' --K. Trout, Kaye Trout Book Reviews |  |
