So, there’s this guy named Bobby,
who was a year behind me in school. I knew him, but we were in different
social circles and not in the same grade, so we didn’t hang out. But he was
nice (I knew that) and would say "hi" if someone said "hi" to him (which I'm sure I did in passing). I also knew he was a “class clown” (a
funny guy, really). Years and years later (I won’t age him or myself by saying
how many years later!) we connected on Facebook, and then I connected with his
amazing wife, Heather (who also went to the same school as me but in a
different grade). She’s the nicest person and purchases my books at book
signings. So, we also became Facebook friends.
Then there’s one of my best
friends, someone I’ve known for a LONG time because we went to school together
and hung out and we chat on FB messenger nearly every day. Her name is Susan.
Susan is also a friend of Bobby’s, and she found out he was writing a book, so
guess what she did? She referred him to ME because I am an editor and have a
publishing company, Get It Write Publishing Company.
Bobby messaged me, and the rest is
history!
His book is called Worry Free Zone, Unveiling the Warrior Within. See, Bobby had leukemia and he fought a
hard battle… but he WON that battle. His support network and, first and
foremost, God, were with him during the battle. His book is dedicated to his
daughter, Lia, who is a sweet girl (and also funny like her daddy!). When I
edited and proofed this book, I felt so many emotions. One was nostalgia because I grew up in the same small town that Bobby did and knew almost the
same people, so when he mentioned places or people, it brought back memories of
high school. I also laughed (hey, he’s a funny guy) and teared up—not just the
parts about him being sick.
