Yes, I know, excuses, excuses, but these are good ones.
My husband of nearly 72 years passed away on April 1st after going to the hospital and then a nursing home. During that time we had a massive flood in our little town of Springville, ruined homes along the river, took out two bridges and closed the highway for a day. Our home was untouched because we sit high above tge river,
I was injured at the end of husband's celebration of life, hurt my tailbone and ribs. Still recovering.
I also attended the Public Safety Writers Association's annual conference, which was wonderful. So nice to see old friends and make new ones.
My husband and I were both honored at the conference. For years he helped with book sales. I was prsented with a plaque in his name, and a picture collage of him working the books sales over the years.
An award was created for the best published book called the Marilyn Meredith Excellence Award. A big surpise.
Of course I miss my husband for so many reasons--he's been a part of my life since I was 17.
Hopefully, I can get back on track with my writing now.
Marilyn
