After losing her husband of 61 years of marriage, Thelma resists leaving her home until her children make the decision that it is too dangerous for her to live at home alone and move her into a nursing home. She is subsequently diagnosed with Lewy Body dementia, a debilitating neurological disease, that progressively robs her of her physical health and mental clarity. Interweaving present events with intimate memories and reality with hallucinations, Thelma narrates a beautiful story of the love between her and Ed, Dad, Papa-her husband, the father of their children, the grandfather of their grandchildren-and their deep love for their family. Sunshine is heartbreaking and disturbing yet ultimately heartwarming and uplifting. Thelma will become a beloved family member as you experience with her the loss of her husband, her memory, her physical health and eventually her life. And now faith, hope and love remain, but the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13:13
