My 10 Year Vacation is an inspiring read for those who wish to remain Forever Young at Heart.

This is a true story about two senior citizens, who met and fell in love. Because of their ages, they knew that each day was a gift from God, so they didn't want to waste a single moment and decided to live the life they had left to the fullest. Jackie had been keeping journals for years; therefore, whenever they did something special, fun, or just plain silly, they took pictures and she journaled a story to go with them. They ended up with twenty-three journals. Every anniversary, they pulled out the journals to revisit the fun events that brought so much happiness. They were able to relive the joy once more! Treating each day as an adventure, Jackie and Harold met each day with enthusiasm, faith, and gratitude, even when cancer struck them both. My 10 Year Vacation is an inspiring read for those who wish to remain Forever Young at Heart.
