I am happy to report Papa Cado passed every one of these tests with his trademark dignity, determination, and sense of humor, and the unshakable trust in the benevolence of God.For whatever reason, Arthur, he granted me the extraordinary privilege of telling his true story in Arthurs words, in Arthurs way. He also gave me than 50 pictures that document his incredible journey from 3 to 72 years old, and final letters to and from the essential people in his life.Papa Cado is more than just a one-of-a-kind book about overcoming obstacles. It is a celebration of pure joy every day holds for everyone, if only you reach out and take hold.
