With a dedication to all soldiers...


Dear John:

My life has not been the same since you left.
I miss you so much. I can't believe you still
have six months to go and I count the hours to
see you again, to hold and kiss you. I am so
excited thinking about our upcoming wedding and
how I want to spend all the days of my life by
your side.

How can I forget those days by the beach, how
you promised me you would teach me to surf, I
had to laugh because I told you that I had to
learn to swim first and you said no problem that
you would teach me both, all I said was "good luck
with that". You promised me to take me to your
home on the South Carolina coast where you lived
with your mom, I want to go there very much, see
where you grew up. I wish that your mom was alive
to meet her, you have told me so many good things
about her and I have told you the same about mine,
both of them gone but I am sure very happy from
heaven to see us together.

I know is not easy for you over there, war is
terrible and I am nervous thinking about you
some nights I wake up in the middle of the night
and ask myself if you are alright, if you are safe
then I go to sleep quotating a bible verse about
protection and I say to myself, "he is going to be
alright, have faith", then I fall sleep dreaming
about you, about our life together. John is hard
to be separated from you, I know is hard to be
away for you too, this love is all we have for we
are both orphans with no family, you are all I got
and I am all you got, please make it back safe
take good care of yourself. You say you miss eating
french fries and cole slaw with a good burger, well
baby when you come back you will have a big plate
of french fries and a tub of cole slaw, I promise
you.

I remember the first time I drank Peach Bellini,
I am not much of a drinker but it was so good
it made me feel so happy and warm inside, we will
toast with Peach Bellini when you come back and
enjoy our lives, we deserve it, we had been trough
so much, you and I are survivors, our lives had been
so tought, you are a great guy and I am so lucky to
have found you. All I want is to see you back in
six months with a big smile on your face because you
are seeing your baby again. I miss you and I keep
seeing pictures of the two of us, not a day goes by
when I don't look at them and cry for the good times
we had, we will have some more once you are back.

Take good care of yourself, please write as soon as
you can, stay awake during patrol and pray that you
would be safe from harm, I am praying for you and your
company too.

I love you;

Ann
