My Retirement Speech

Squirrel At My Throat is based on my book by the same name.&nbsp; The subtitle is "Living and Dying Unconventionally in a Conventional World".&nbsp; My book is a memoir, primarily devoted to portraying my son's cancer experience, but I raise so many other topics in the course of the book which I feel merit much more discussion as well as examination from a wide variety of perspectives, including the importance of family, how young adults deal with cancer, the state of cancer treatment, mental health, the afterlife, cancel culture, drugs, the state of education, grief, bereaved parenting, the flaws of many societal institutions, music, raising boys, the importance of family, medical freedom, vaccination, climate change, digital currency, digital ID, transgenderism etc. etc. etc.&nbsp; Many of the topics that I discuss will emerge organically from the current issues of the day as well as from the content of my book.&nbsp; My book is available two ways:https://books.friesenpress.com/store/title/119734000137473637/Tanja-Zientara-Squirrel-At-My-Throat or https://www.amazon.ca/portal/customer-reviews/1525581252/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_top?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;reviewerType=all_reviewsBy the way, the opening song is titled, "Me, You and Labatt Blue", written and performed by my deceased son and his band.
