My dad writes from Vietnam on a slow alert day, just counting down the days until he can hold my mom again — 36 to go. He talks about getting some sun, watching baseball, grooving to her letter, and imagining their hotel room in Hawaii. He also checks in on “the wittle one,” jokes about Nancy Murray’s endless string of disasters, and reflects on how strong their love is — even from opposite sides of the world.
