In listening to some love letters between a soldier from WWII and his lover, I was able to understand the true connection and love behind words. I felt as if this was the type of relationship that was needed during this time; something where you can hold on to physical letters, having the ability to always look back on the thoughts that someone had written down. Love letters are different than regular letters, where you would just write down simple things going on in your life or how you are doing. With letters between you and someone you love, emotions pour out and the two express their pure thoughts about the other, being completely vulnerable. I admire how open Chris was towards Bessie and how he said anything that was on his mind. I wish I heard more with how Bessie felt, but besides that I felt like they both equally expressed their love and understanding with each other. Even though they met through writing to each other, they still insisted on getting married, which worked out well anyways. It just goes to show that you do not ned physical conversation nor touch to fall in love. It’s amazing how people can fall in love through exchanging letters and having the strong trust in one another to be faithful and wait to one day be together. I wonder how many relationships had lasted in WWII with people who were fighting.
