"Peyton, my love, there is something I have been wanting to say to you for a long time. It is between me and you only."

 

"My Dearest Peyton,

 

When I first saw you walking across the campus at Wellstone, my heart started beating so hard I thought it was going to stop. Somehow, I knew I was looking at the person who would complete me in ways I could never imagine on my own.

 

When I finally went to the campus apartment, and you were in the room to which we were both assigned, there was a feeling in the pit of my stomach that I had never before experienced. I didn't know whether to shout thank you Hashem or burst out crying. All I knew was that I had a feeling coursing through my veins that was telling me I had just met the one true love of my life.

 

When we went to bed that first night, I was scared to death as I stripped off every piece of clothing I had on. I was so afraid that I would drive you away doing that, but I had to know if you were having the same feelings for me that I was having for you. The next night when I was taking a shower, and you climbed into the shower with me, my knees got so weak I thought I was going to faint. When the affect you were aiming for occurred, and you then stood up and pulled me tightly to your warm, wet body, and kissed me so lovingly, I remember praying that moment would never end. I got the answer to my prayer, because that moment has lasted since that very night.

 

I had never dated anyone before, and I had never had a sexual experience with anyone, so when I knelt and returned your loving pleasure, there was such a rush of feelings in me, that even today, I have no words to describe them. When you dried me off and I dried you, and we walked into the bedroom and you climbed into that twin bed and held me all night, I silently cried myself to sleep.

 

The next day after registration, when Charley and Dale showed us how to make the twin beds into a queen bed, and we went to the hardware store and bought the supplies to do that, there was such an anticipation rushing through me that I wondered if I would survive the feeling. When I took a shower that night and you didn't climb into the shower with me, I was scared I had done something wrong. Little did I know that you had secretly bought those royal blue silk sheets, and you were preparing the first truly intimate night that I would ever have.

 

You had the bed made up so that when I got out of the shower, I didn't know what you had done. You took your shower and then came to the bedroom and made me lie on my stomach. Then you gave me a full-body massage with the lotion I love to use. When I gave you a massage with that same lotion, and then climbed under the silk sheets with you, pulled you as close to me as I could get you, and then smelled your hair and body, and explored every inch of you, I melted. To this day, I can't get enough of the scent of your hair and your body.

 

When I pick up our boys and smell the scent of their hair and their bodies, it is the same as yours and I can't get enough of that unbelievably wonderful smell. Then the first night that we went all the way and made love, I felt more like a man than I had ever felt, be it a gay man, but a man nonetheless. If I could have stayed in bed all of the next day holding you, I would have; but that wasn't an option for either of us no matter how much I wished it had been.

 

When I tried to tell Mom that I had met the love of my life, and that he was you, she said she had known since I was a little boy that I was gay, and she was proud I had finally found someone who could and would love me as much as I love you. When I opened that nightstand and saw what Mom had put in there for us, I knew everything was going to be OK. That night, we made love in my bed for the first time and it was so magical for me, and I hoped it was for you.   The next day after I awoke, I was on cloud nine the whole day and Mom knew it; I could tell by the smile she had every time she looked at me. There was a quietness about you that told me you felt the same way, and that made me the happiest person on the earth that day, and it is still the same for me today, and I hope it is for you as well.

 

Taking you to meet the ladies at Mom's office, and then to the synagogue to meet my family there, that made me so proud, and everyone being so proud for us, that left an indelible mark forever in my mind.

 

The night at Mom's when I hurt you, that was the most devastating thing that has ever happened to me, and I have promised myself that nothing like that will ever again happen. You, Dale, and Charley have taught me that excited as we may get about our intimate escapades, love is about respect and tenderness, not about having sex for the sake of having sex. Thank you for loving me despite what I did, and helping me to get through that horrible experience that I tried to let destroy me. You knew better, I didn't, and you taught me well about true love after that happened. Thank you for helping me to see the light of love.

 

When we went to Orange Beach for me to meet your parents, I was scared witless. When I was in the spare room and your Dad walked in and asked me what the hell I thought I was doing, I thought he was about to beat me to death. Instead, he told me I was unpacking in the wrong room and to get my clothes and put them with yours in your room. Then he hugged me, welcomed me to the family, and said he was so glad you finally found someone who would love you as much as you loved them.

 

When he went back downstairs, I stepped into the shower, and in a few minutes you came in as naked as a newborn baby and got in the shower with me; I was petrified. You smiled and told me you were only doing what your Dad told you to do. When you did that, I freaked. Then your Dad said he knew we were sleeping together at Wellstone and he didn't see why we should change that arrangement. As we went to bed, he knocked on the door to tell us good night. I'll never forget the smile he had when he told us to look in the nightstand drawer and then smirked as he said, "have a good night, I'll see y'all in the morning."

 

I'll never forget how I lost it when I realized I finally had the complete family I always wanted with a Dad I could confide in and talk to about anything. Your Mom and Dad held me as we all cried until I got it out of my system. Your Mom and Dad were so loving to me; that is something I will never forget, and I hope I do the same for our sons.

 

The one thing that probably stood out most to me was when Jenny walked into the kitchen the next morning, hugged me, said she loved me, and welcome to the family. She had never met me before, and yet there was no doubt to me that she truly loved me, and flew in quietly from Oregon to surprise both of us, all to simply meet me. That was so loving to me. I'll never forget seeing their tears after they saw us in the swing and realized I had held you all night.

 

Then there was the night we thought we had pulled one over on our families by getting married, only to find out they had read us like a book. You agreeing to Dale and Charley getting married with us, and sharing a honeymoon in Maui, and how much we enjoyed that time together while still having some alone time with the loves of our lives, that is still so surreal to me. Meeting the Rabbis and their families there, and realizing Hashem had sent the Rabbis to meet us was truly an answer to what I had davened for.

 

And then to meet their brothers who had gotten married just before we did, and the Rabbis catching us on little beach and telling us we had time to get our butts up, get dressed, and get off Little Beach, only for us to find out they were on the cliff looking down on us and laughing their butts off. That moment was and still is priceless to me.

 

When I look at our boys, I know how much you and your family love me, but I still can't find the words I want so I can tell you just how much I love you, how proud I am that you are my husband and a wonderful father to our children. Please, my love, know that I love you more than anyone or anything in this world.

 

With all my love,

 

Jaiden"

 

"Jaiden, my sweet cheeks,

You are, and always will be, the love of my life. Everything you said in your letter to me, it was and is the same for me. I have never been as happy as I am when I am with you, and before we met at Wellstone, I was pretty miserable with life.

 

I laughed about the part where you said you were scared that night when you stripped down and laid on your bed. I still don't know how I mustered the courage to do the same thing for the same reasons you did it. I laid on my right side looking at you with the worst pain I had ever experienced. That was the night I had the hardest erection I had ever had up to that time, and I couldn't – or wouldn't – do anything to relieve the `pressure." I remember awakening the next morning to the largest sticky spot I could ever remember and hoping you didn't notice it. I also noticed my body had been relieved of a great deal of internal pressure, if you can imagine that.

 

I remember lying in bed that night thinking how I was looking at the most handsome, most beautiful person I had ever seen. I don't remember getting an ounce of sleep that night.

 

I was still staring at you the next morning when you awakened and I thought you were so cute waking up. I also remember wanting to crawl into bed with you and hold you all day. Like you so eloquently said, that wasn't an option for us that morning, and it really tugged at my heart strings.

 

When we got out of class that day for lunch, and you asked me if I wanted to have lunch with you, I resisted the urge to climb all over you and gush yes over and over. Everybody in the cafeteria had to know how smitten I was by you with the giddy smile on my face all day. Quite frankly, I didn't care what they knew or thought that day, I was madly in love with you and nothing was going to spoil that feeling. When I walk down the hall in the office or see you on the pediatrics floor at the hospital, that feeling starts coursing through my body all over again, and I feel just like the day when I first saw you. When I see you doing notes at the nurse's station, it takes everything within me to not walk up to you, grab a handful of your butt, and give you a passionate kiss. Yeah, babe, you still do that to me every time I see you, and that won't ever change.

 

No doubt we have gained a pound or two since we met and since we married each other, but damn, it looks so good on you, and you look sexier than ever to me. I don't know how to say you are one good looking hunk of man without using those words, but you are one good looking hunk of man and you are mine. Anyone who ever tries to step between us is going to get the butt kicking of a life time, that is a promise to you from me.

 

I knew you were petrified when I stepped into the shower with you at Mom's and Dad's, but he did tell me to get my butt upstairs, get my clothes off and get in the shower with you, that it was something that young people in love enjoyed. He was so right about me enjoying a shower with you. And the supplies in the nightstand, I will never forget how gentle you were that night when you made love to me. That was one night I never wanted to see end. It was a most special night for me, and every time you make love to me, I am reminded of that night. When you make love to me, it is always as special as that night was, completely unforgettable.

 

When we sit in the tub for a good soak and I lie against you, your body feels so amazing to me, and I revert to the loving memories we share together. To feel your bare body against mine is as surreal to me as it was the first time I did that with you at your Mom's. We've been married seven years this June, and the feel of your skin against mine is still the most wonderful feeling in the world to me, and I can't get enough of that feeling.

 

What you said about our honeymoon, it was the same to me. I can't wait for the day that we can take Dale and Charley and all ten children to Hawaii to relive some of our experiences there. I want our boys to experience the Aloha spirit, to eat at the Cheeseburger Factory and dine at Fleetwood's. I think Charley will be a hoot trying to explain everything to the children. Taking our children on an evening walk at Kaanapali Beach, and for a swim at Kamaole 3 beach, will be so much fun. I think all ten of the children would get a kick out of seeing the Hawaiian Green turtles at the beach in Paia, and at Kam 3 beach.

 

What would be the thing I would most want to do is take an evening stroll with you on Kaanapali Beach, just you and me. That would be so romantic if we could make it happen. We could go one night and Dale and Charley could have a night to do that as we take turns watching the children for each other. Who knows, sweetheart, we might even get locked out on the balcony while we are naked as jay birds like we did on our honeymoon. I just hope if it happens that we have the energy to make something of a night like that!

 

As for the unfortunate night at your Mom's. I let that go when it happened. You need to do the same, sweetheart. It wasn't something you meant to happen; so, please, let it go.

 

As much as you say you love me, I love you that much; maybe more if that is possible. Thank you for our boys, for loving me, for being the best spouse in the universe. I know it is hard to have the love my parents share, and the love your parents shared, but believe me when I say, your love for me beats theirs hands down.

 

I love you more than you will ever know!

 

Peyton

 

When Jaiden got to his desk Monday morning to look at the mail received over the weekend, Peyton's letter was leaning against a glass with a pen lying in front of it to keep it up. Jaiden got up and closed the door to his office so he could read the letter in private. As he read what Peyton had written to him, tears started streaming from his eyes as he stared out the window of his office and gazed at the mountains of Erie. When he walked to the front office to see if patients had started arriving, Ashley saw the tears and asked Jaiden if he was ok. Jaiden replied, "Ashley, more than you will ever know."

 

While he was in the front office, Peyton came in from making rounds on the pediatrics floor.   "Peyton, may I see you in my office for a minute?" He and Peyton walked to his office and when they walked inside, Jaiden closed the door and backed Peyton against the wall. Peyton had a surprised look on his face as Jaiden went in for the most loving kiss Peyton had ever received from him. When he finished his kiss, Jaiden took Peyton's face in his hands and said, "Sweetheart, thank you for what you said, it means the world to me." Peyton looked at Jaiden and said, "Babe, you started it and I intend to put the icing on the cake tonight!" As they walked out of Jaiden's office, Peyton had tears in his eyes as he walked to the front office. Ashley took one looked at Peyton and said, "Something good must have happened for you and Dr. Jaiden. Peyton wiped a tear from his eyes as he said, "Ashley, if only you knew. Right now, I am on top of the world and nothing is going to bring me down from cloud nine, nothing."

 

When Peyton walked back to an exam room to see a patient, Ashley looked at the other ladies and said, "Those two truly love each other; if all spouses would love each other that much, they'd all be better off." Carol looked at Ashley and said, "Ashley, Maidie, I have worked in a number of doctor's offices over the years, but I have never worked anywhere where I have felt more peaceful, more at home, more appreciated, and more loved than I feel here. For once, I look forward to getting up every morning and coming to work." Maidie responded by saying that it was the same for everyone, and Ashley agreed.

 

Jaiden walked to the front office to ask Maidie if he had notated a patient's record with blood work that had come in from a lab. He never asked the question, because when he got to the front office, the ladies were so somber it struck him as odd; so, he asked everyone why they were so sedate all of a sudden. "Dr. Jaiden, go get Dr. Peyton if he isn't busy, and when the two of you come back up front, we'll have a talk about why it is so quiet up here."

 

Jaiden walked to Peyton's office and he was sitting at his desk reading a journal. Sweetheart, can you come up front for a minute, the ladies want to talk to us together. "Jaiden, is something wrong?" "I don't think so, Peyton, but we're about to find out."

 

Hi, guys, pull up a chair and let's talk." ""Ashley, has Peyton or have I done something that upset you three?" Carol spoke up and said, quite the contrary Dr. Jaiden. This morning when you came into the office, you went to your office, closed your door, and got very quiet for a while before you came out. When you came up front, you had a look on your face that was unmistakable. Tears were falling down your face and you moved around rather deliberately." Maidie chimed in and said, "Dr. Peyton, when you got to the office after making rounds in pediatrics, tears were streaming down your face, you were very quiet, and, like Dr. Jaiden, you moved very deliberately. What all three of us saw was a genuine love between the two of you. Ashley commented about the love she saw between you, and that is when we got quiet."

 

After a while, we had to stop what we were doing and talk about how we felt. What we want the two of you to know is that between the three of us we have over 70 years of experience working for doctors, but in all those years, we have never worked in a doctor's office where we have felt more appreciated, more respected, or more loved. It has changed the three of us for the better, and we have the two of you to thank for that. The very idea that you will be gone for at least two years hurts us beyond belief, but we have the assurance that you will be back and we will get back to normal, back to the happiness we have come to expect and appreciate; we will have our family back, or as you like to say, Ohana will be restored. So, thank you for making us three of the happiest ladies on this earth, for giving us a new family. Jaiden and Peyton looked at each other as tears streamed down their faces. Jaiden glance at the ceiling for a few moments before he lost it. He was just told by his staff that he is the person he wants to be.   He was just validated by his staff who acknowledged his efforts to be kind and loving to everyone who will let him, and even if they don't, he is going to be kind and loving to them anyway.

 

Peyton held Jaiden's head to his shoulder as he rubbed the side of his husband's head until he regained his composure – and Peyton regained his. Everyone in the office had tears streaming from their eyes as they acknowledge how much they meant to each other.

 

"Ashley, have we finished seeing the patients on today's schedule?" "Yes, sir, we have." "Good, what ever you are doing, put it down, go home, and spend some time with your children and your husbands, you earned the time off. Peyton, come on, let's go home. We'll see y'all on Monday morning, have a good weekend."

 

When Peyton and Jaiden got home, Dale and Charley had all the children outside playing in the backyard, so Jaiden walked to his bedroom with Peyton and closed the door. He pulled Peyton to him, buried his face in Peyton's shoulder and wailed. "Sweetheart, thank you for loving me the way you do, for making me the happiest I have ever been, for sharing our children with me." Peyton held Jaiden tightly and let him cry his heart out. He hadn't seen Jaiden so emotional since the time he broke down at the table in Orange Beach while his parent's held and consoled Jaiden.

 

Ginny heard Jaiden' wailing and told Granny that in all the years of her relationship with Jaiden and his Mom, she had never seen Jaiden so emotional and she was worried about him. Granny looked at her and said, "Martha, I have seen this behavior in others, and there is no doubt in my mind that God is working wonders in Jaiden's life, and he is responding in a very positive way. He's going to be OK. He is going to become a better man than he has been before. Jesus has broken the chains in a million pieces; He has given Jaiden a comfort he's never known, and you know there is power in the name of Jesus, so have faith – everything is gonna be just fine, and I have that on good authority." "Geraldine, thank you." "Sister, don't thank me, God is the one who has done everything, I am just listening to his love and watching His grace."

 

Peyton and Jaiden emerged from their bedroom and went outside to sit in the grass and love on all the children. Jaiden held each of his boys, smelled their hair, held their hands, and told each of them how much he loved them. Each of the boys kissed and hugged their Dads before they went back to playing with their brothers and sister. For whatever reason, each of the children shared a hug as Ginny and Granny looked on. "Geraldine, those babies are loving and considerate just like their daddies are." "That they are, Martha, that they are."

 

Granny looked toward the sky and said, Lord, thank you for sending down your Shakina glory! Thank you for sharing your love with the families represented in this house, for the blessings you have bestowed on Jaiden, Peyton, Dale, and Charley. Thank you for blessing the children with good health and happiness. We bless You, Lord, for all you have done, for all you have provided to us, and I especially thank you for bringing these young men and their children into my and Taylor's life. You have blessed us beyond measure with the love to which you have exposed Taylor and me.   We bless You for that, Lord. Please keep Your hand on all of us as we all embark on a new chapter in our lives as we go to Tennessee and then plan for our return to Erie. Give us traveling mercies to and from Tennessee, in Jesus name we ask it, AMEN and AMEN." Ginny got a folding chair from the deck and went and sat in the yard with her boys and her Grandchildren. She hugged and kissed the heads of her boys and her grandchildren as tears streamed from her eyes over how fortunate she was because of her Lord and Savior, JESUS.

 

"Geraldine, this past week has been so hard for so many due to their various circumstances, but there is the hope that lives in my heart that Jesus is gonna step out, and we will be changed in the twinkling of an eye with the midnight cry...when Jesus comes again. As she sat in the yard with her boys and her grandchildren, Ginny began singing the words to the song, The Midnight Cry written by Greg and Chuck Day.

 

"Geraldine, when Greg was seven-years-old, he was called out in church by a visiting preacher and was told God was going to give him songs that were going to bless many lives through the years to come. He and his brother had been addicted to and abused drugs for some time when they became Christians. They were visiting their parents and went to their church with them in Adel, Georgia on the Georgia-Florida states line. The visiting pastor said his sermon was going to be entitled The Midnight Cry. Greg wrote down those three words and told Chuck there was something hidden in those words. That happened in 1996."

 

"After hearing the sermon, Chuck and Greg went home. Greg and Chuck went into their living room where Greg sat at the piano and began to play some chords. Chuck told his brother they could probably write a song about the sermon they heard, and, all of a sudden, Greg could hear the sound of "the mighty rushing wind." Chuck replied, "And now it's closer than it has ever been." Immediately Chuck said he could hear the mighty trumpet as Gabriel sounded the call. He immediately came back with the words, At the Midnight Cry, we'll be going home. That's how the song came about. Seven months later, the song was sung in Gadsden, Alabama for a group known as the Gold City Quartet. They recorded the song to the voice of Ivan Parker and the rest is history as the song swept the Christian music world..."

 

As she and Granny stood at the French doors after they went back inside, Ginny began to sing the words:

I hear the sound

Of a mighty rushing wind;

And it's closer now

Than it's ever been;

I can almost hear the trumpet

As Gabriel sounds the call,

At the midnight cry,

We'll be going home.

I look around me,

I see prophecies fulfilled everywhere,

The signs of the times,

They're appearing everywhere;

Oh, I can almost see the Father...

As He says, son, go get my children.

At the midnight cry,

The bride of Christ will rise...

When Jesus steps out

On a cloud to call his children,

The dead in Christ shall rise,

To meet Him in the air...

And it's closer now,

That it's ever been;

And then those that remain,

Shall be quickly changed...

At the midnight cry,

We'll be going home.

I look around me, I see prophecies fulfilled everywhere.

The signs of the times, they're appearing everywhere;

I can almost see the Father as He says, Son, go get my children;

Oh, at the midnight, the bride of Christ will rise.

When Jesus steps out on a cloud to call his children,

The dead shall rise to meet Him in the air...

And then those that remain shall be quickly changed,

At the midnight cry, oh, at the midnight cry

At the midnight cry, oh, when Jesus, Jesus, Jesus..

Steps out on a cloud to call His children...

The dead in Christ shall rise to meet him in the air;

And then those that remain shall be quickly changed,

In a moment, shall be changed, in a moment, yes, and

At the midnight, oh, at the midnight cry

Yes, at the midnight cry

We'll be going home

We'll be going

Going home.

 

"Lord, thank you for Greg and Chuck Day, for using them in Your ministry to bless us, and thank You for allowing Gold City to hear their song and record it with Ivan Parker; and thank you for that spirit-filled church in Adel, Georgia; we have been so blessed because of them." "Martha, you told the truth in that prayer."

 

"Jaiden, come here just a moment." When Jaiden walked to Ginny, she gave him a long hug and said, "Son, I don't know what happened today, but it had to be good, because I don't remember ever seeing such a glow in your face." "Ginny, all I will say is that it was indeed good, and the day has been beyond awesome because of the love I felt this morning. Even the staff was involved to a degree in what happened, so I closed the office as soon as we saw our last patient and I gave them half a day off, and I brought Jaiden home. After everything, I needed to be with my family, and that includes you and Granny." If Ginny hadn't have had a tear in her eyes earlier, she certainly would now.

 

"Jaiden, this is Mom. I called your office and didn't get an answer. Is everything OK?" "Mom, it is more than OK. It has been such a special day that when Peyton, Richard, and I saw our last patient, I told the ladies to put down whatever they had in their hands and go home and spend the extra time with their families. I grabbed Peyton and headed to the house to spend some time with the ten children, Dale, Charley, Ginny, and Granny." "Jaiden, whatever it was, it must have been something awesome, because the inflection in your voice is speaking volumes."   "Mom, all I will say is that today has been one of the happiest days of my life, and it all has to do with Peyton." "Son, I am so glad to hear that. I just wanted to make sure everything was OK." "It is, Mom, and I couldn't be happier right now." Well, good. Go kiss Peyton for me and I will talk to you later." "I will kiss him for you, Mom, but it will be after the boys go to bed." "Jaiden, you are so bad when you want to be." "That's true, Mom, and tonight, I am really going to be bad. I love you, have a good weekend."

 

"Hey guys, would you like for Daddy to take you to get some skety?" Nathan and Jason let out a squeal that said yes. Dale and Charley's children also got as excited as Nathan and Jason, so the guys loaded the children in the van and headed for Tony's.
