About the Author: Mark Porro
At 55, Mark Porro made an unexpected life change—trading his bachelor lifestyle to become the full-time caregiver for his 90-year-old mother. His memoir, A Cup of Tea on the Commode, chronicles this emotional and comedic journey, offering both inspiration and laughter.
In Mark’s words:
“It’s rare for a son to take on 24/7 caregiving, but I jumped in with gusto to fill Mom’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Not always successful, but I came pretty damn close.”
The book is praised for its witty and heartfelt storytelling, with comparisons to renowned humorists David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs.
