This Is Why

I received an email this morning from a friend of my late partner, Steve, the man whose departure from this plane spurred this entire project. She wrote, "Oh Steven, it's so beautiful. I have just finished Chapter 2 and have to tear myself away and do some work. I can't wait until tonight so that I can finish it. It's the most wonderful tribute to Steve that I could have ever imagined." And this is why I can spend all my time spreading the word that this book will soon be available.

I can't begin to tell you what it's like to tell a story with the hope that it will touch people and then realize that it actually does. And, from what I'm seeing so far, it does so in many different ways. I had no idea when I sat down to write this book that anything would happen at all and it didn't matter. All that mattered was that I write it.

So I continue to thank those of you who have provided such humbling feedback and, with it, the inspiration to do the work to let people who might also be touched by it to know it exists. And I continue to thank all of you who have found your way here for helping with this labor of love.
