For months I have been keeping a big secret, but now I can take a huge sigh of relief and exhale a whole lot of pent up air.
Today when my monthly newspaper hit the streets, so did a surprise to our readers. My husband and I announced that we would no longer be publishing the paper after the next issue. We made the decision months ago and while we hoped that someone would purchase us that has not yet materialized. But we realized no matter what happened, we had left the newspaper business in our hearts and we knew we had to stop before it showed in the paper.
We also made another decision about seven months ago and have been living with that secret all this time because of the paper. We are separated, and I will be moving away within a very short time.
It's pretty amazing that we have managed to put out the paper together while our marriage fell apart. I'm actually proud of the way we have managed to handle ourselves and so is my husband. Now we have to deal with the rest of the world handling it.
I just told one of our readers when he asked why we were stopping the paper. He said, "Why are you doing this to me?"
