The title reflects two statements of my clients molded into a title, concluding with an offer to join me on my journey of social work. This book is based on real life. Nothing is fictional; nothing is hyped or tamed down. This book shares the joys and sorrows of social work and geriatrics. This book tells how the now deceased coach, professor, and social worker / coworker has affected me. This book tells the real life stories of my late Grandma and late Father.I asked in the reading of this book, either for pleasure, occupational developmental, and/or academic exercise that my readers and audiences not cherry-pick chapters or skip around. These chapters and the journeys told in the chapters build as the book progresses. I hope you will gain the purpose of this book--to become a rock star social worker, geriatric provider, or at least a rock star advocate.
