Description

A compilation of love letters, journal and diary entries, as well as present day comments that combine to tell a love story which began 44 years ago and continues. Originally written for children and grandchildren as a gift of their heritage, the narration added by the author to blend the love of yesterday and today began to reveal themes and topics worthy of consideration by a greater audience. One of the main themes of the book is their deep religious faith and their beliefs based on the legalistic church they both belonged to. Through commentary that the author provides throughout the book, these beliefs are explained and commented on to compare their early belief system then, with that which they hold today...44 years later. This book is an authentic picture of these two people. Care has been taken to keep the sentence structure, and the meaning of their written words at the risk of revealing writing flaws and immature thinking. We often experience chagrin today by what we wrote yesterday. We believe however, that the subjects discussed and revealed are worth the pain of embarrassment. Early personalities are revealed...good and disappointing and the ensuing struggles to blend two people into one are revealed in a way that is not usually seem. Because this couple lived in two different countries and did most of their dating through letters, we can now look back and watch that blending. We can learn from it. The narrations are not shy about pointing out difficulties that arose throughout the 44 years since those letters were written. Those narratives are used by the author to emphasize life lessons the couple have learned through the tragedies and joys of their life experiences and are intended to be used as tools for other couples struggling with marriage issues. The author believes that sometimes old beliefs need to be restated. Maybe they are only old beliefs...lost values because our generation stopped communicating them.
