In his first public appearance since a car accident earlier this summer, Arkansas Senator Percy Malone addressed those gathered at the Clinton Day Dinner.
The dinner was held Saturday at Garrison Day Gym on the Henderson State University campus.
Malone fielded questions about his health and thanked those who had gotten past the “no visitors” rule to check up on him during his stay in the hospital.
Malone addressed a group in Arkadelphia on May 24 regarding the county’s strategic plan. He left town a short time later, headed to Eureka Springs, and was involved in an traffic accident on Interstate 30. According to Arkansas State Police, Malone’s vehicle made “minor contact” with a tractor-trailer. Malone suffered a broken leg and was air lifted to St. Joseph’s in Hot Springs. Over the coming days, his condition deteriorated and he was moved to intensive care.
At Saturday’s event, Malone took the stage to a standing ovation. He told the crowd that he’d learned an important lesson during his recovery.
“It’s okay to say I love you,” Malone said.
He said that no one is guaranteed another day and that a missed opportunity to say “I love you” may be the last.
As political candidates took the stage, many of them assure Malone that he was loved.
