Autorenporträt
I'm 70 years old. I developed a love for waiting 10 years ago. This manuscript is a compilation of ten years of writings on the memo pad on my phone. One year of work on the copy and five weeks of editing. I had no idea that I had any writing skills. At all. Ten years ago I awoke from a dream I really couldn't remember. The dream was about my wife, Mary Jo, who had died eleven years prior. All I remembered was, "What if I told you?" My first writing was immediately written in the memo app on my phone. This is explained in the manuscript. I have come to truly enjoy writing because I have to think about the truths I'm attempting to share, so others understand. The more I write about such truths; the truer they become to me. This manuscript is dedicated to Mary Jo Hall.-Bob
