MR. WILSON MAKES IT HOME

In MR. WILSON MAKES IT HOME, the joy Michael and Cheryl so badly needed comes in the form of an adorable little schnoodle named Mr. Wilson. This is a sweet and simple animal adoption story that tells of the love, recovery, faith, hope, and healing that a lovable pet can bring to a broken-hearted family.

When some of the light went out in Michael and Cheryl Morse’s life, Mr. Wilson brought it back. Michael and Cheryl Morse were slowly difting apart: Cheryl’s twenty-year battle with multiple sclerosis and Michael’s struggles with PTSD had taken a toll on them, compounded by grief for their two beloved dogs—put down on the same day. Their lives were in badly in need of a lift. It was so easy to bask in negativity and dwell on the things that didn’t happen or should have happened. But periodic glimpses of bliss can grab us by the throat, shake us to the core, clear our sight, and give us the clarity of mind and presence of body to stop everything and take a deep breath; feel it, acknowledge it, and know that it is true. Accepting the moment as a gift to be treasured is the most important thing a person can do. That moment arrived when a small dog was placed in the Morses' arms. Michael Morse lives in Warwick, RI with his wife,Cheryl, two Maine Coon cats, Lunabelle and Victoria Mae and Mr. Wilson,their dog. Daughters Danielle and Brittany live nearby. Michael spent twenty-three years working in Providence, (RI) as a firefighter/EMT before retiring in 2013 as Captain, Rescue Co. 5. His books and articles offer fellow firefighter/EMT's and the general population alike a poignant glimpse into one person's journey through life, work and hope for the future.
