Hello, I see that you stopped by last night, long after I was asleep. I wonder if you were looking to see if there was something new. I was touched that you still come by.
Thank you for the little message you left for me late last night. It was a wonderful greeting to wake up to this morning when I signed on the computer.
I adore you..and I miss you.

Touching Feet
Tonight I was reminded about the simple connection of feet touching together before sleep. Just lying there one half across the other with feet intertwined, talking about the day.
Arms wrapped around shoulders and small kisses exchanged between words. Head rested against chest muscles and hair tickling my face from an exhale above me; a movement of life in between words.
Life sure is wonderful when it is simple. For me, one of the simplest pleasures I can remember is touching feet…and catching up.

Tell A Story In The Form Of A Love Letter
June 5, 1944
Dear Grace,
Today finds me missing you more than ever. I miss the sounds of you in the kitchen and the smell of coffee brewing. I miss knowing you are only a few moments away from me....
We have been traveling for 6 days now and witnessing some of the worst of humanity out here. I try to keep my emotions inside, because this is not the place for them, but I must tell you the sights here haunt me in my sleep and beat me through my day.
I have been spending time reading the magazines you sent to me. It seems to help relax me for a minute. I find a lot of humor just writing the word "relax" because it is such a forced thing we all do...pretending to let our guard down for even a second.
There are so many things that I want to express to you today, in this letter. I want you to hear my voice in every line as if I had the intimate joy of whispering these things in your ear. You see, you are my everything Grace. You are the first thought when I wake and the last before I sleep. Your voice is the music I long to hear and the sound of your breathing is lullaby I want to enter sleep with.
I know there are many odds facing us right now and I want you to know that we will come through this time, I will do my best to come home to you if it is God's will. This situation in which we find ourselves is beyond comprehension or conclusion and there are times I feel helpless in my own destiny. Thoughts of returning home to you and holding you in my arms keep my footsteps going forward, I want you to know that.
Tomorrow we are making a push onto the beaches at Normandy. There has been a lot of activity which requires our presence alongside our allies, and is our gateway for landing. We should be well in place before you receive this letter from me. I will update you again as soon as I can on our progress. Until then, know that I carry your love as a constant embrace, and return mine to you to carry you in these dark days.
With all my heart,
Bill
