Summary:
Ben Utecht, a tight end for the Super Bowl-winning Indianapolis Colts, left the NFL after his fifth major concussion, when he started to notice chunks of his memory had vanished. Suffering from multiple traumatic brain injuries from the sport he loved, Utecht now knows that his memories have an expiration date. This book is his love letter to the wife and daughters he soon will not recognize, and is an inspiring message for listeners to live every moment fully.
