Dear Hope,

When people ask how I am doing, I say, “fine” when in fact, I am not fine; I can barely function.

My heart is heavy; I am so numb of emotions that tears cannot reach my eyes to empty all the sorrow of missing you right now.

I think about our love, I think about you my darling and all the unsaid words of adoration that I would give anything to whisper to you.

Do you feel how much I love you and only you, my grandad wrote in his letter.

I will be home in two months so please keep your ring finger empty.

Save marriage for me, for us.

All My Love,

Carl

  1. Beautifully done.

    Have a fabulous day and week, Heidi. ♥

  2. Nice phrase: “keep your ring finger empty”

    May they live happily ever after.

  3. Wait. Granddad! That means… She kept the ringfinger empty?!! Awwww. I am such a sucker for stories as such. Beautiful!!!

  4. “How are you doing?” and “I’m fine” is the longest running hypocrisy in the world.

  5. Well with that kind of a love letter, she’s got to give him more than Hope. Maybe Promise, and Forever? Sweet write!

What do you think? 🤔
