You're Gonna Miss Me Someday: A Memoir by Ken Gagne (Full-Length Audiobook)

Only by knowing your family can you know yourself. Only by hearing their stories can you tell your own. But what if those stories are incomplete or were never told at all? What if your family hid half the pieces to the puzzle you’ve spent a lifetime trying to assemble? What then?
When they sent their severely disabled sixteen-month-old twin sons to live in a state-run institution, Bob and Cindy Gagne made an unspoken pact to lock away the pain. In the years to follow, they raised their three “replacement children” under a shadow of silence, where no one talked about the past. After his mother and father died, taking their stories with them, author Ken Gagne realized he lost more than his parents. He also lost the chance to find out who they really were and finally learn the truth about the twins. Most of all, he lost his only chance to find himself. Or so he thought.
In his memoir, You’re Gonna Miss Me Someday, a raw and uncompromising journey of self-discovery, equal parts heartbreaking and humorous, Gagne dives into a well of yesterdays, constructed more of myth than memory, and recreates the family history he never knew. Adding fictional flesh to factual bone, he’s penned a love letter to the people and places that made him: reflections on coming of age in small-town Western Massachusetts; discovering the brothers he always wanted while working for the NBA; and burying his parents before he could apologize for failing them.
Narrated by the author, this audiobook is a tale of time waned and wasted, an ode to ticking clocks and the turning of seasons, a sonnet of regret and forgiveness that will resonate with anyone who has ever wished for another chance.
