On the Shoulders of Giants: The Curtis Story Collection

The Last Game of Rummikub is a heartfelt true story about friendship, faith, aging, grief, and the unexpected ways God places people in our lives. What begins as a veterinarian’s simple act of kindness toward an elderly widow and her beloved poodle soon grows into a life-changing bond filled with home-cooked meals, late-night Rummikub games, veterinary stories, laughter, wisdom, and prayer.
Through his friendship with Mrs. Jones, Andrew Curtis discovers the profound value of slowing down, listening well, honoring the elderly, and recognizing that small acts of love can become lasting legacies. As Mrs. Jones shares stories from her long life—her joys, losses, faith, and hard-earned wisdom—Andrew and his wife find themselves blessed by a relationship that feels like family.
Tender, reflective, and deeply spiritual, The Last Game of Rummikub is a tribute to the power of intergenerational friendship and the enduring impact one faithful life can have on another. It is a story for anyone who has loved a grandparent, cherished a pet, played one last game, or held tightly to memories that continue to grow long after goodbye.
