Experience 50 Years of Christmas Love Letters-A Chronicle of Devotion, Struggles, and Enduring Love.
When Marilyn, Jim McCormick's wife, was nearing the end of her life, he asked where she had kept the Christmas love letters he had written her since their first holiday together in 1968. In a faint voice, she revealed they were tucked away in a box on a high shelf.
Panicked when he couldn't immediately fi nd them, Jim feared losing the chronicle of their life together- year by year, letter by letter. Over five decades, his words captured the sweetness of newlywed days, the joys and trials of raising children, moments of strain, heartfelt apologies, shared faith, adventures, and the experience of growing old together.
Thankfully, their son, David, located every single letter. Rereading them was both gratifying and tearful. Encouraged by friends, Jim decided to share this intimate and deeply personal account of a committed marriage with those who might fi nd comfort and inspiration in its pages.
In Story of a Marriage, Jim McCormick offers a raw and authentic tribute to his wife-his own "poor man's Taj Mahal." This collection of love letters is a journey from young passion to enduring devotion, revealing a marriage built on faith, resilience, and the choice to love, even through life's challenges.
