And I Love You So Melanie Baker Trimarco

"And I Love You So" is a beautiful song written by folk singer Don McLean and was a hit for singer Perry Como. But for her late Mark and for Melanie, it was the epitome of their love story.

They both sought out love and finally found it in each other.

"And I Love You So" became their very own personal stamp for the love they shared for one another. From having "AILYS" engraved on the inside of their wedding bands to how they always signed their cards, AILYS became who they were.

It also became their resounding legacy when Mark's illness struck six years into their marriage, challenging them to live out their wedding vows in a way they never imagined: for better or for worse; in sickness and in health; until death do us part.

And I Love You So is a story about hope and grace and the strength of the human spirit.

With a deep desire to help others walking along a path of pain or grief, this book is a guiding light in an ocean of darkness, leading you to find peace within whatever reality you may be living. Additionally, Melanie's hope is to highlight the importance of taking vows when embarking upon the sacrament of marriage.

Through the eyes of someone who's had the privilege of finding another to call home, this journey also highlights the importance of honoring the vows that are committed to regardless of the hand being dealt.

It's a story about love, loss, the widow who was left behind, and the God who never stopped being in charge.
