In today’s letter, Dick writes to Sarah during a long, rainy day on alert in Vietnam. His words are full of longing, tenderness, and a deep sense of connection — reminding her, and all of us, that their love was about far more than physical closeness.


From the sweet humor of their private “chick-a-dee” exchanges to his reflections on how they “make love in so many ways” — even through these letters — this is a powerful window into how they held each other close through distance and time.
