While I was visiting my great grandparents, I stumbled upon a set of pictures that my grandpa kept in an old box. The pictures showed such a vulnerable side of my always strong and put together grandma. She sent this picture along with a few others to my grandpa while he was in the Navy station in Guam and she was in California with their three young children. I always knew that they were deeply in love, after all they’ve been married for 62 years this November, but seeing the pictures with heartfelt messages on the back that were sent over 50 years ago made it even more obvious to me. This particular note says, “This is how I look when I get mail from you my darling. I love you so very much.” I hope to one day have my very own never ending love like theirs.
