Book Launch Celebration
Living with Hope: A Myeloma Journey

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our book, Living with Hope: A Myeloma Journey! This story is deeply personal, so it felt only right to host the celebration in the comfort of our home, surrounded by the people who have supported us every step of the way.

There will be a brief reading during the event—I’ll be sharing one of my favorite journal entries, and David will read an excerpt from his Afterword. With so many wonderful people planning to attend, it might be a little chaotic—but above all, it will be fun!

To help make the day special, we’ve ordered beautiful, coordinated plates, napkins, and utensils from a special occasion collection. We’ve even included some paper fans in the same pattern—perfect for any children (especially our grandchildren!) who may join us. We will be serving fruit, cheese, and cupcakes.

We’ve also added a few personal touches:
✨ A guest book – so when I’m old and gray (no comments, please!), I can look back and remember everyone who was with us on this meaningful day.
📚 Laminated bookmarks – because I’ve always loved a good bookmark that lies flat and holds your place just right.

Most importantly, we want to say thank you. We truly could not have completed this journey—or this book—without the unwavering love and support of our family and friends.

With gratitude and love,

Lou and David Sears
