“Honey, I miss you. I work hard, hoping that, because I do, I’ll be able to see you sooner. I can truthfully say that I live for the day we can settle down for the rest of life together. Don’t ever doubt that. All of my love, Bill.”
One of hundreds of letters that Bill Neff, a soldier stationed in Europe, sent to Maxine King from 1942 to 1944. Bill returned home safely, and the two married and lived happily together for 60 years. He died in 2002. Maxine is now 90.
親愛的,我想你。我每天努力著,期望著。因為我明白,我很快就能見到你了。我真心的希望我們能一起渡過生命的每一天。我深信不疑。最愛你的,比爾。
