Alenka Čurin Janžekovič is a retired teacher and principal who has always been wholeheartedly devoted to this noble profession. Dancing, playing the piano, singing, and engaging in harmless antics, imbued with humor, have enriched her life in a way that she can teach us through her story – how to truly LIVE.
But just as every fairy tale has its own theme, so too does Alenka's life - she has lived with Morquio syndrome since birth - polysaccharide IV, which affects the joints. There is no cure for her. She is not afraid of death. But she is afraid, like many others, of pain, of being in a hospital bed for a long time, of being dependent on the help of others...
Therefore, she firmly decided that she did not want to live such a third period of life and arranged a dignified farewell for herself - euthanasia in Switzerland.
"The book is an extraordinary first-person narrative about why someone who had a dream childhood, was fulfilled professionally and personally, and lived in a loving environment, decided with all common sense to end her life with dignity by suicide." - Prof. Dr. Andrej Pleterski
