My Dad - the man I'm named after - would have turned 81 on Nov. 23. The first anniversary of his death is on Nov. 30.
It's safe to say this will be an emotional week for me and my family. But in a way I didn't imagine at first...
Writing my new book, "Reclaiming My Authentic Self: A Journey from Fear to Freedom," has been cathartic for me.
Because over time, it's become a tribute to my Dad.
