Sunday I sat home and read the letters between my grandparents written over 60 years ago. I found out that my papa called her Mickey, his Mickey. I saw their closing line evolve from "Sincerely" ~ "Yours Truly" ~ "All My Love". It was amazing to read what was happening in their lives 35 years before I was born. When my grandparents were my age they had just met. I found out that they met 2 years before they dated. I read about how they felt they had wasted those two years not being together.
They began corresponding in February of 1949 and were married in September of the same year. I was sad to reach the end of the letters. I know the rest of their story, but it was so nice to read their words. I hope to scan the letters into my computer and make a book for our family.
