"The King lives within all of us!" My Aunt Dale wrote this to me in one of the many emails we sent back and forth over the last few years about my book. She then went on to say that my book helps you understand how we are all "made in the image of God." This episode is dedicated to my Aunt Dale who just passed away on Ash Wednesday of 2022 after a heroic battle with cancer. I took today off to pray, read, reflect, and grieve, and to be there for my Mom, who was very close with her little sister. She and I got to talk yesterday and today at length and I've been able to share so much about what my Aunt Dale wrote me with my Mom that she didn't even know about. I hope the rest of my Capozzoli and Jahosky family will learn a little more about my relationship with my Aunt Dale, too. It's funny, in one of the emails she sent, she mentioned she was still reading through my book but it was "dense," and I knew what section she was referring to (Chapter 1!). She still toughed it out and read it, and she always had nothing but the kindest and most supportive words to say. I got the sense she didn't want to hurt my feelings (she didn't), but she wanted to tell me that part was hard to understand! Amen to that. It was the hardest part of writing my book. I know she probably could've benefited from hearing some of this sooner, but I know for certain she can still hear it, so Aunt Dale, I hope this sets some of the technical stuff straight (even if I still have to wade through a lot of terms!). Today's episode was a catharsis for me and it helped me grieve and remember all the wonderful memories I have of her from my childhood, mine and Sarah's wedding (she and her husband had some awesome dance moves!!), and our long correspondence. She was so proud of my book and this podcast. Aunt Dale, you are so missed, and we love you. We know you will get a new body and we will see you again one day.  My Aunt Dale wrote this about my book, sending out a big email to our family..."Boy oh boy,  I have I’ve been enjoying this fabulous book by our wonderful family member, Michael T. Jahosky — “The Good News of the Return of the King: The Gospel in Middle-earth”.  Michael has worked for five years to produce this work,  and it is fabulous in every way" www.mythicmission.com www.patreon.com/mythicmission
