Storytime Tapestry Newsletter The newsletter devoted to spreading love and cultural
awareness throughout the world. Hearts and Humor – A Michael Smith Column Hello and Happy Valentines, my wonderful readers. I pray you are in the arms of your loved one tonight. I didn't make it to work today because of the snow. I spent a lot of time editing stories an editor wants to publish. On a down side, I planned to purchase something for Ginny on my way home from work tonight. The storm messed that up. We're having a nice Valentines night tonight, but tomorrow I will make it even better. SMILING Today, my story titled, "The Lady I Spend Lunch With" really took off. It appeared in Heartwarmer.com, Starfish, Storytime Tapestry, and a few other sites. I wrote that story with the idea to fool those readers who know me. Judging by the comments, I succeeded. Ginny loved it too. I almost forgot. Many of you read the sotry about my friend Jack, who I got in contact with his friend from 50 years ago. The story inspired me too. Last night I did an internet search for an old high school friend. I found him in time had gone by. Thirty years disappeared. We were in Highschool again. It was wonderful. Here's a sequel to the story, "I Just Want to Hold You." 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 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 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.

I loved it. Love ya, Betty ******************* Your Jack and Jack story has me grinning from ear to ear! Those two pals were destined to meet again, and I'm so glad that you were instrumental in seeing that they re-connected after more than half a century. Way to go, Mike! This true story has all the earmarks of a good movie! The internet has caused our world to shrink; hasn't it? Have a marvelous Monday, Sandi. ****************** Mike, I loved today's story about Jack and Jack. What an awesome interactive instrument you've become for many people. I don't think that just "happened". Awesome things can happen when you submit to being God's "tool". Keep on writing! Diana ******************** Hey Michael, Really good story about the two Jacks. I am glad you took the time to search out one for the other. Bless you for that and for honoring your old friend. As to the Cody-Joe story, I did email his humans and hope it helps them to know others care. Stay safe and warm. Give your Ginny a hug....... As always I enjoy all your stories. Blessings, Darlene |
