Remembrance Day by grammyn

Remembrance Day

A letter from my dad to my mom while he was in the army before they married. A fitting reflection today especially, and such a treasure to have still. This one was about six weeks before they were married and he wrote about their first date and all the fun they had on other dates. He asked if he could tell the guys about their "coming event" saying it was "just too good to keep to myself". He closed by saying "love and kisses galore" which was so unlike the man I knew. They were married almost 70 years.

thank you for your service dad♥

Simply wonderful. I love the stories of our parents that seem so far away to us. Of course they were in love and were attracted to one another. As kids that isn't what we saw. I have a tote full of cards that my Dad gave my Mom through the years. I treasure it.

@30pics4jackiesdiamond fortunately he never went to war although he was in the army. He just was not an overly demonstrative man while I was growing up
@kjarn I guess the credit goes to my parents for starters because they kept the letters. It is really nice to go through them and see who they used to be
