Great Regulars: I know this column usually

is about books. But each life is a book, too. Sometimes, as in Sherri's case, the book is too short. But I've read some great short novels. Her story, which inspired so many, was the length it needed to be.

Thank you for caring about Sherri. I am honored to have been her husband. I am privileged to have such compassionate readers of my work.
