In this playful, passionate letter from June 9, 1971, my mom writes to my dad with longing and complete honesty.
She reassures him about her faithfulness, jokes about how things will be when they are finally together again — when she’ll be visibly pregnant with me — and reflects on how their love first began.
“How’s it going to be for you to make mad and passionate love to a very pregnant wife?” she asks him. “At any rate, you’d better get prepared — I’ll probably attack you.”
I love letters like this because they show how fully alive my parents’ love was — funny, physical, tender, and real. And even across the distance, they never stopped finding ways to connect.
