I’m dressed in my Old West garb and ready to hit the road to speak at a book store about marketing books and promotions. I’m looking forward to the program, but am heart broken for my brother Scott and his wife, Linda. Linda lost her son this past week and both she and Scott are suffering over the loss. The funeral is today and I pray they will find comfort in the loved ones that surround them. I feel particularly blessed to have a sister-in-law like Linda. I wish my brother had met her a long time ago and further wish my brother, Rick had been as lucky to have had someone like her in his life. Statistics show that 90% of your happiness is derived from the person you marry. Scott is living that statitic out. If I’d been a better sister I would have made sure Rick would have had a chance to meet someone as wonderful as Linda.
