Hi, my friends! I pray your weekend is wonderful. Thank you all for the wonderful comments on my story, "The Happiest Day Of My Life." It is my personal favorite. I have added a lot of the comments below. Today I wrote a sequel to the story, "I Just Want To Hold You." I hope I don't bore you with my words of love for Ginny. I'm sorry, but I just can't help writing about it. Enjoy! I Don't Want to Let Go The alarm clock rings again. For the fourth time, I roll and slap the snooze button. My eyes open and see its 6:00 AM. I need to go to work. My body stiffens with disappointment. I have to get up. In my mind I think, "No! I don't want to leave her. I don't want to let go!" The sun rises; the sky grows brighter; the birds begin to sing; and we're slowly roused from sleep. I have a leg thrown over Ginny's. She has an arm draped over me. The morning sun warms the room. We get hot and roll away, but always, we keep our hands or feet in contact. Without body contact, we get cold again. We roll to each other once more. I'm against her back - one arm under and one arm over. My leg stretches out and over hers. The warmth once again comforts us. Our body heat becomes too much. I roll to the other side. In a few minutes she rolls and snuggles my back. Her hand rests on my shoulder. I instinctively reach up and hold it. The alarm rings again. My free hand slaps the snooze button. I roll back to her - holding her. I smell her hair and feel her skin against mine. I don't want to let go. It's always the same: we sleep and touch. I feel empty unless I am touching her. I have a work to face, but I don't want to let go. I want to hold her forever. I hit the snooze button again and roll back to her, as if I am drawing strength from her to get me through the day, until I can be home and in her arms again. We begin each day draped over each other. I feel her love and she feels mine. I don't want to let go. I never want to let go. Michael T. Smith I love your comments and post a few each week.

Perfect to end my day at the computer with a big smile and a thought as to how I might become a clown (if I'm not already one). :o) Thanks for being you and sharing you in such a beautiful way. Evegene ************ In Response to my story "A Gift Of Life" which appeared in Heartwarmers.com this week. http://archive.mail-list.com/heartwarmers/msg01310.html Michael, You have done it again. That is a beautiful story. You have a wonderful way with words. I truly enjoy every story you write but some of them really get to a person, this is one of those. Thank you so much for sharing your stories. Patricia *********** Thank you so much for sharing the wonderful story about when your daughter was born. She is very lucky to have you as a father. You sound like you appreciate the great miracle of life that our children give to us. I really like the way you took the time to make others happy when you knew that they were in pain. It was very brave of you to risk your lively hood when it was so hard to get jobs back then. Good Job. Terri ************** Dear Michael Congratulations first of all on your daughter's 21st birthday and a reminder of how special she is and the story linked to her arrival. Secondly, congratulations on your and Ginny's anniversary. The love that you show each other is just so radiating and shines through my PC. I so wish that my wish, like the one Ginny had in her message to you, would one day come true just as hers came true; she found a special soul mate. I didn't have to read your letter to know which one you're referring to, and just the thought of how the story went, I got goose bumps allover again. I just knew. It had to be this one! I love that story and it's still clearly etched in my mind since I read it the first time, and that's when I joined your friendship group. I also shared this story with many of my friends! You so inspired me with this wonderful story. If not already so, this story will one day be the best story the world has known. Michael, you're a wonderful person, I just know that because of the way you write and your personality just shines through everything you do and say. Keep it up and thanks again for little wonders and great people. Love from South Africa Maria ************ Rachel from Spain has a wonderful story of her own. Mike How I love your story - I am sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks. My job is a sacred clown. I resonate so completely with your intention to bring joy - especially in places where people are unhappy or stressed, or in pain. And I love the way you did it for people on the bus whom you didn't know, regardless of their reaction - and how eventually over time the magic worked . This is what I do - in old people's homes, in hospitals, in prison - clowning all over to bring people joy. I remember two years ago on Christmas Day, instead of doing a show in hospital I decided to go and dress up on the street at a market, where the stall holders were all acting as if it was just another day - all lonely and sad in their own way but pretending not to be. I wore a red and green sparkly skirt, covered myself with tinsel and reindeer antlers with bells on and my red nose. My little dog had her red ruff on and I had a huge drum decorated red and green with tinsel and glitter with a sign saying "SMILE !" I parked myself and my dog by a sign which said "NO DOGS ALLOWED". Then I spent the day giving out handmade angel cards - Christmas cards with special angel messages - like "Happiness", "Compassion" and "Joy" ... There was one card with the word "Forgiveness" on it. Right at the end of the day after many surprised and grateful people had laughed at my silliness and thanked me for their Christmas cards, a couple came to me. They received the card no one else had wanted - "Forgiveness". I only had a few left by then. I asked if they would prefer something less challenging. The man said no it was perfect. He then turned to his partner and looking softly at her said "Please forgive me". She started crying - it was such a tender moment. There is magic and joy and beauty and so much love in the clown's heart - and it can live in us all as you know and as your story and mine show. Many many red nose blessings from Spain, and love from Rachel |
