My Home, My Heart, My Honey Bear: a Parting Tribute to My Wife, Who Both Loved and Tolerated Me for Fifty-two Years. Hiram Jack Hodges

Publisher Marketing: My Life with Honey Bear and Beyond... How do we define true love? What makes a marriage successful? In our modern age of mass media and instant gratification, it's easy to lose sight of what's really important. My Home, My Heart, My Honey Bear is a lyrical, tender memoir celebrating fifty-two years of two people who shared deep trust and daily intimacy, who took seriously their vows to support one another for better or for worse, in sickness and in health. Take a journey of love with this remarkable couple, and learn what is truly important in a lasting partnership: acceptance, compassion, honesty, forgiveness. Be reminded that attraction is only one facet of a marriage, and that real love seeks the best for the loved one at all times, with no strings attached. Witness the transcendence and tragedy as Jack accepts the privilege and honor of caring for his wife during her harrowing cancer treatment, and experience with them the realization that death will part these devoted lovers. My Home, My Heart, My Honey Bear is a love letter to a marriage that serves as a testament to the ways in which people can commit to stand by one another, bring joy to one another, and enrich the lives of everyone they meet through their example of dedication, kindness, compassion, and bliss.
