Today is July 12th. It has been 7 months to the day since the one I love moved to heaven. I have been OK and things are moving forward in a practical sense.
I went to Daytona Beach to take the same walk Janis and I enjoyed for so many years. The sun was out, it was a beautiful day. It was a time of thanksgiving and contemplation.
On the way home I heard an old Mama’s and Papa’s tune, “Dedicated to the one I love.” I was a basket case by the time it was over. This song never meant so much to me until now.
“While I’m far away from you my baby
I know it’s hard for you my baby
Because it’s hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love
(love can never be exactly like we want it to be)
I could be satisfied knowing you love me
(and there’s one thing I want you to do
Especially for me)
And it’s something that everybody needs
While I’m far away from you my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
Because it’s hard for me my baby
And the darkest hour is just before dawn
If there’s one thing I want you to do especially for me
Then it’s something that everybody needs
Each night before you go to bed my baby
Whisper a little prayer for me my baby
And tell all the stars above
This is dedicated to the one I love…this is dedicated..
This is dedicated to the one I…… Love……….
I love you Janis and I miss you so….
My thanks to all who loved Janis and have loved me generously with compassion and your prayers and fellowship.
It was Christ in her, the Hope of Glory.
The coming times will demand our understanding. Preparing now is paramount.
You are loved, He waits,
Michael

I think of you daily. Did you go to see your mother while you were in Florida? How is she doing? Does she know you? Does she know you lost Janis? How is the rest of your family? Please send me a personal e-mail about these questions because I truly care. Leah Story Trout (Aaron’s middle daughter is expecting her first baby in September and it will be a boy. Finally a boy in the Story family.
Love,
