Writing With Abandon

Reflections and ramblings about life as an educator, writer, reader, knitter, and over-thinker. Trying to do the writing only I can do.

  • Love Letters

    Today my mom and my sister visited my grandparents’ home in Philadelphia to go through and gather the final things we want to keep before saying goodbye to the apartment.

    Tillie sent me some photos along with this letter my grandfather sent to my grandmother. It’s clearly from before they were married, and it makes my heart full. They married so young and were together for decades. Companions.

    “I’m glad you spoke to your father about us, and I’m very happy that he likes me. I know you have a lot to tell me, and I can’t wait to get home so that I can hear it. I’ll get home to [sic] late on Sunday to speak to you, so I’ll see you on Monday. So long, darling, till then, love me? I love you — Harold”

    It’s a love you can only hope for in this life!
