Every life is written between two dates.
The day we arrive…
and the day we leave.
Everything that matters happens in the dash between them.
Life Is Two Days is a powerful and reflective journey through the quiet moments that shape a human life—love, grief, family, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to keep moving forward.
Through deeply human stories and honest reflections, readers follow Daniel as he navigates loss, relationships, healing, and the realization that life is not measured by achievements or possessions, but by the choices we make with the time we are given.
From the painful weight of grief…
to midnight conversations about happiness…
to the small, ordinary moments that become the most meaningful parts of life—
this book reminds us that life is fragile, time is limited, and peace is something we must intentionally choose.
This is not a book about perfection.
It is a book about living honestly, loving deeply, and learning how to carry both joy and sorrow at the same time.
If you have ever wondered:
• What really matters in life
• How to move forward after loss
• How to build a life filled with meaning instead of noise
then this book will speak directly to your heart.
Because in the end, life really is just two days.
The day you are born.
And the day you leave.
What matters most…
is the dash in between.
Allen DeKeyser is an author, storyteller, and advocate for living an honest life. His writing focuses on resilience, healing, faith, and the emotional lessons found in everyday experiences. Through deeply reflective stories and powerful insights, Allen explores themes such as grief, love, forgiveness, personal growth, and the search for peace.
Many of his works are inspired by real-life experiences and the challenges that shape who we become.

His goal as a writer is simple: to create books that help people feel understood, encouraged, and reminded that their story still matters. Allen lives in Wisconsin with his wife Marqueta and their beloved dogs Harley, Pebbles, and Fendi, who continue to inspire many of the stories he tells.
