Letters From The Past
Family nostalgia is on my mind since having everyone here last weekend and going through Mom's stuff. I thought I would share some of the interesting letters that I found.
I found this letter in a blank envelope with no date. It had to be from 1940ish, give or take a year. Here is the exact letter.
Dear Miss Moore,
You've got something pretty good in Ed. Hang on to him but watch the other gals cause he's just too darn beautiful to be true. Especially those eye lashes which I hope my gal never sees.
You must be pretty special too if what Ed says is only half true. He really loves you in case you're interested and no doubt you are.
Everyone here thinks that Magee is pretty much on the o.k. side.
In case you're wondering why you've received this, it's a little thing I'm trying to see how Mac trusts me. If you receive this, it means that he hasn't read it and if you don't, you won't be interested.
Another thing I meant to put on here is that he is really true to you.
Yours, (thru a mutual acquaintance)
Pvt. Moe Meyer
I'm still not sure if this letter was meant to reassure Mom how much Dad loved her from a third party perspective, or if it was a test of honor between Dad and this guy. Maybe both. I just think it's soooo cool how trust and honor and fidelity meant so much to them. That letter just struck me as so innocent and pure, something that seems so rare now.

Happy Birthday Daddy
My dad would have been 89 years old today if he had not died at the young age of 63. I can't believe he has been dead 25 years! I miss my Daddy. He taught me a lot of things, and most of them I didn't realize until after he was gone. He would be glad to know that all of those times when he thought I wasn't listening, I really was. Maybe I didn't apply his teachings then, but I do now on a daily basis. The moral of the story is: when you have told your child for the hundreth time what to do or not to do, eventually it will sink in. It may be 20 years, but it will sink in. So don't give up.
