March 1, 1972.


Twenty days until Dick leaves Vietnam.


The final month begins.


Sarah writes from home with baby Cissie — doctor visits, sunshine, baby clothes, errands, and the daily work of caring for a child alone. Dick writes from Vietnam, trying to place a phone call, making plans for the move ahead, and counting every remaining day.


For a father who has not yet held his daughter, twenty days is both a lifetime and almost no time at all.
