Valentine’s Day arrives in the final stretch of waiting.
Phone calls are planned. Diets are started. Slim-masters are rented. Bank checks are accounted for down to the penny.
In these letters, Sarah writes from San Antonio about sore arms, baby formula, flowers, jealousy, and the ache of wanting her husband home.
Dick writes from Vietnam about mail orders, movies, clean teeth, and the simple, steady fact that he loves his wife.
Two letters from Sarah.
