A secret for me to keep and you bury deep
15 January 1940Narvik, Norway My dearest Carl, I know from your last letter that you did not wish for me to write again. With a heavy heart, I shall disregard your wishes just this once. If I am to make you unhappy, let it be of my own choosing, for I would rather face your anger than the silence that separates us. I shall be brief, for paper is scarce.

Waiting in Germany
December 26th, 1990 Hello, My Love, I am writing the day after Christmas, so I know you won't receive the letter for a while. I am so mad - the Army assured us our soldiers would have time with their families before deploying to Iraq for Desert Storm. We barely saw you from the beginning of November until you left Christmas week!!

Gold Frames.... Top Story - March 2025.
March 12th, 1915... My Dear Beth, I know that you were born a month ago, and named for your mother, my dearest Bess. She tells me that she kissed my gold-framed photograph each night, now on your behalf as well as her own, until you are old enough to do it yourself. I pray that the Great War will be over before then, or that I will have had leave enough to come home so you both can kiss me in person, before that time.
