“Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.”
~G.B. Stern
I owe so much to Cindy. Not just for her endless support and unwavering faith, or for the two beautiful children who so obviously wear some of the best of her. And not because she put the pen in my hand and helped me find the page, but because Cindy is also my fairly constant muse.
As I sift through the million or so words I’ve written in the last year, I wonder how many were rooted in her soil. Yes, I speak with limitless language, but she is always there to endlessly listen.
Many of my posts at Writer Dad have stemmed directly from our dialogue, but Cindy has given me millions of seeds and threads to plant elsewhere as well.
When it comes to partnership I’m luckier than most, and I do everything I can to justify my good fortune. If we were all so charmed as to have someone to help us discover our dreams, walk beside us through the most jagged edges of our journey, never failing to encourage, all while offering honest and open feedback. Well, I do believe the world would be a better place.
Thank you, Cindy, for being all of that for me.
About Sean Platt
You are one blessed man, Sean, and I'm glad you know it and can show it.
You two make an awesome pair!
I agree though, Cindy is a remarkable woman and you are very blessed to have found her!
Thanks, Lori!
Really, I've managed a lot this last year, but I would've pulled off a fraction without her. The support has been constant and the belief unwavering.
Happy Wednesday!
Thanks Tracy, though she totally found me. Although I am the one who finally called her!
Best thing I ever did.
Hi Sean .. yes you are a lucky man – and many congratulations on being together and working so well together .. really pleased and happy for you both – lots of success coming in your direction!
Cheers – Hilary
Wow this is so unexpected. I got behind in my WD reading with all that is going on in our lives and all the words written for so many, I feel like I won the lottery of gratitude. Life would suck without your words and presence Sean. You make me want to ride my bike without handle bars.
Ah, baby. I couldn't love you any more until tomorrow. :)
Hi Hilary,
So sorry I missed this!
Yes, the future is bright enough for shades, but there's no way I could've done it without her and I'd be a fool if I didn't recognize how lucky I've been!
Thanks. :)
After reading your post, I enjoyed thinking about the care, closeness, and concern that you both seem to give to each other. Certainly an act of touch and intimacy.
No doubt, no diggity.
I couldn't do this without Cindy. She is certainly my most intimate friend.
