pickA very bittersweet memoir/ read. I grew up crushing on Michael J. Fox and was so jealous when he married Tracey Pollen. When MJF was diagnosed at age 28 with early Parkinson‘s Disease, I was heartbroken. It‘s clear that Michael has handled his disease with humor and grace. The love & devotion from his family is heartwarming. It‘s commendable how Michael has used his fame to advance research and resources for those suffering from Parkinson‘s. 👇🏼
Cinfhen Michael is at the point in his disease where his body is shutting down and while it could be devastating to live with the knowledge, Michael chooses to focus on all of his blessings. A true source of inspiration. #NF22 #IAmMarvelous @Riveted_Reader_Melissa although Michael J Fox would never call himself marvelous, just lucky. ❤️🙌🏻 2y
Cinfhen Thanks @Hooked_on_books for putting this one on my #ReadersRadar #Hoopla 🎧❣️ 2y
Kloves2read I read his first book Lucky, and he mentions that Tracy didn't like him, when they first started working together on Family Ties. She told him later that she thought he was cocky and arrogant. 🤣 He was so busy trying to impress her, being someone he wasn't, instead of showing her his true self. Then naturally once she got to know him they hit it off. 2y

Cinfhen So true @mom2bugnbee I can totally see Tracey thinking he was cocky until like you said @Kloves2read he showed her his true self!! They were married so young and it‘s beautiful to see their love has grown stronger through this adversity. 2y
