A message from my bride ❤️

Hi friends,

For 12 years, Monday messages have come to you from Craig.

Today, for the first time, the words are coming from me, his bride of 24 years.

Craig made it through the most critical first 96 hours after surgery, and we are incredibly grateful. He is breathing on his own, getting stronger, and taking this recovery one day at a time.

There is still a road ahead of us.

But today, we are celebrating life.

So many of you have reached out to ask what you can do for Craig, what you can do for our family, and how you can support us.

Your prayers, messages, encouragement, and love have meant more to us than we can put into words.

And when I asked Craig what would mean the most to him right now, his answer was so completely him.

Not flowers.

Not gifts.

He wants to know what you are going to do with the life in front of you.

If you have read The 10-Year Letter, send us a picture of you with the book and share your AHA with Craig.

Tell him what stayed with you. What you are changing. What you are finally going to do. What matters more now.

And if you have written your own 10-Year Letter, send him a piece of it - or send the whole thing.

As he gets stronger, I cannot imagine a better way for him to spend part of his recovery than reading about the futures you are choosing to create.

Because this is bigger than a book to Craig.

His mission is to help millions of people wake up excited to live their lives.

And after watching him fight for his own life, I can tell you those words land differently for me today.

Life is precious.

The people we love are precious.

The dreams we keep putting off are precious.

The conversations we mean to have are precious.

The version of ourselves we keep saying we will become “someday” is precious.

We do not get to control how many days we are given.

But we do get to decide what we do with the life in front of us.

So this Monday, Craig’s message is still going out.

It just happens to be coming through me.

Write your future.Live what matters.And tell Craig what you’re going to do with the life in front of you.

If you’d like to share something with Craig while he recovers:

Share a photo or AHA: Post it on Facebook/ Instagram follow & tag CRAIG ZUBER and @10YearLetter so we can find and share it.

Send your 10-Year Letter: info@10yearletter.com

Write yours / learn about The 10-Year Letter:  10YearLetter.com

Get the book: The 10-Year Letter

And when you find yourself out there actually living something you wrote about, take the book with you. Share the moment and tell us:

What part of your Letter are you living today?

I have a feeling Craig would say there could not be a better gift.

With all my love and gratitude,

Nicole

Craig’s Bride
