In today’s letter, Dick writes from Vietnam with a blend of laughter and perspective. He’s received a handmade “dong sock” from Sarah — a hilarious and intimate gift that sets the tone — but as he sits in the sun and reflects, he shares something deeper.
He explains why, despite the distance and the war, he’s grateful for the timing of his deployment: because it allowed him and Sarah the chance to fall in love, get married, and now, prepare to become parents.
This letter is a reminder of what can grow in the spaces between hardship — humor, hope, and unwavering devotion.
