In 1979 i made a promise to write a book to my kids.
In 2009, 30 years later, a career wakeup call was a painful reminder the first sentence had yet to be written.
Additionally, there was only one child to write to, not several.
Only my Son and i knew the status:
- Thirty years to write the first sentence
- Two more years to write the book
- Two more years to get the courage to publish
Had it published on Amazon in October 2013, knowing the official reveal to Cheryl with a physical copy would purposefully happen on Thanksgiving (2013) morning.
She had heard me talk so much about it, but never saw any tangible result. She thought i silently abandoned it.
Cheryl was shocked to hold a copy in her hands.
Was filled with gratitude – thanksgiving – that i finally did what i said i was gonna do.
Thanksgiving, on multiple levels, was the perfect day to tell Cheryl, and the world.
