A beautiful true love story in honor of my sister. There was a girl that lived in a small town during the Vietnam War. A small town newspaper in North Carolina printed the names of all the local men that were serving for their country overseas with addresses to write them. The girl and one of her sisters chose to write all the men from the town one letter every week. They were sweet letters just telling them they were missed at home and wishing them well. When one of the servicemen finally got home, he went to find the girl who had faithfully written him while he was so lonely and away from home. He met her and they fell in love and got married. They never had any children but always had each other and a lots of nieces and nephews on her side of the family. On his side of the family, he was the only child so her family made him one of their own. They were happy and stayed faithful to each other through thick and then until she died 41 years later. She passed out of this world yesterday...
