The LETTERS.
I have always enjoyed getting personal letters. So much so that I have a stash carefully boxed away that someday my children will trash. For now, they will remain safely tucked away. And these are going in the stash.
The letters from this young soldier are the most precious. I think I have 6 now and each more precious than the last. I can’t wait to open them, but first I have to curl in my favorite chair with a Dr. Pepper. Yesterday I got two letters. I got them positioned on my lap making sure I am reading them in chronological order. Oh he sounds so happy and so confident. As I read the words, it’s his voice that I hear. It’s his voice so confident! It’s his smile I see when he tells me we’re going to throw the biggest party when he gets back. You see, he is sitting right here with me.
As I told Logan, I enjoy writing him. It’s like he is right here with me and I can devote myself to him and him alone. Sometimes I imagine him reading my letters on his bunk, but other times I see that little beautiful boy in the tree.
Keep writing letters! I love you!❤️
