After a few weeks in Florida, I’m back home in Montana — back to the letters, and back to the long road ahead.
This is the June 15, 1971 letter from my mom, Sarah, to my dad, Dick, written during the height of their separation in the Vietnam War. It’s intimate, emotional, funny, raw, and full of the kind of unfiltered honesty that makes these letters so unforgettable.
I’ll be honest — I fell behind these past few days. Traveling, spending time with family, and just trying to stay present. But picking up this letter again reminds me just how important this project is. It’s a huge undertaking — hundreds and hundreds of letters, between now and March of next year — and at times, it’s overwhelming.

These letters aren’t just my parents’ love story — they’re part of our collective history. And I’m so grateful you’re here to witness it with me
