Just a few lines tonight before I turn in to let you know that you are constantly in my thoughts. There seems to be a delay in my letters getting through to you so I thought I would use this V-Mail hoping it would reach you sooner. It seems like we have been apart forever. I will never forget the morning I left finding that you had lined my coat with pieces from your dress. Now the dress that once touched you is what keeps me warm while I am away from you. I touch the coat with my hands and I close my eyes and for a moment I am touching you. The flowers in the material remind me of the ones we planted before I left. You said they would come back in the Spring and maybe by then I will be coming home too. Someday this war will be over and we can begin our lives together again. I love you and I miss you so very much. I pray that God will give us many years together. Grow old along with me, my love, for the best is yet to be.
