About this audiobook
Chris' drive to live life big shines through everything he does, from his annual 4th of July fireworks display, starting at precisely 17:76 o'clock (6:16 p.m. to most of us), to the whimsical pet names he gives everyone he meets, to his huge get-togethers with family and friends. He is loved—really loved—and his life seems perfect. But life is precarious. When he is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Chris is forced to accept that things will never be the same and vows to make every single moment count.
Haunted by a difficult family Christmas in his past, he resolves to create meaningful new traditions by granting each of his family members a Christmas wish to remember. His urge to become a better giver touches all of them, changing their lives in ways they never could have anticipated.
Sprinkled with humor, Our Last Christmas Wish is a raw and inspiring story of hope, faith and love. Chris' resolution to live with meaning, and his determination to inspire that passion in others kindles joy and warmth in the true spirit of Christmas, enriching lives around the world as his story is shared year after year.
Michael F. Combs
Michael F. Combs is an author, composer, fine artist, aviation world-record-setter . . . and a defier of death. In 2003, Michael died and came back-not just once, but twice in three days. Deprived of oxygen too long, Michael lost his memory, but this tragedy came with a silver lining . . . losing his memory was a full "mental reset" that miraculously restored his childlike wonder of life. After nearly two years in recovery, Michael was more determined than ever to live life to the fullest. He went on to defy all odds, becoming a prolific fine artist, a published author with three books, a symphonic composer and even achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a pilot. With his renewed purpose in life, Michael set out to inspire 20 million people with the message that 'It's never, ever too late to follow your dreams'. In 2010, he realized his own dream through his project, The Flight for the Human Spirit, smashing his goals and reaching 30 million people when he flew a REMOS light sport aircraft on a 50,000-mile journey into all 50 states. In the process, he set six world records and earned an esteemed spot in aviation history. Michael lives his life with no regrets and has a deep passion for encouraging others to do the same.
