A story of resilience, humour, humanity and the unexpected moments that shape us

Life rarely unfolds the way we expect.

A Lifetime of Moments is a deeply personal, often humorous and profoundly human journey through illness, uncertainty, relationships and resilience. Through a series of vivid, honest and sometimes extraordinary moments, Keith Budden reflects on the experiences that shaped his outlook on life — from hospital wards and difficult diagnoses to friendship, love, laughter and the absurdities that can appear even in life’s toughest situations.

Written with warmth, wit and remarkable honesty, the book explores what it really means to keep going when life becomes unpredictable. Along the way, it celebrates the people, conversations and seemingly small moments that can leave the biggest impact.

At times emotional, at times laugh-out-loud funny, A Lifetime of Moments is not simply a story about illness or adversity — it’s a story about being human.

Readers can expect:

• Honest and relatable storytelling
• Humour woven through difficult moments
• Reflections on resilience, perspective and connection
• Memorable characters and deeply human experiences
• A reminder that even life’s smallest moments can shape us forever

Core Message

It’s not always the major events that define our lives.

Often, it’s the moments we never expected.
