Jimmy has always been very romantic.
Not in a blatant, in your face, roses and slow dancing way,
but in a strong, steady way.
And I love that about him.
He has always written me love letters.
I have love letters from West Point,
Half delirious letters written on waterproof army paper from when
he was in Ranger School,
Love letters from the first deployment to Afghanistan
and printed emails from the subsequent deployments.
His love letters started out like this:

Hey baby,
Your email made me want to come home and hold you. I hate that you have
to worry about me and it breaks my heart that no one can really be there
for you. I want you to know that I am so enormously proud of you. I
wish I could be as strong as you are. I love you more than you know and
am so proud to be your husband.
Love
J
I treasure them the same, even though now the “love letters”
are brief and electronic (and sometimes businesslike and armyish, hehe).
So sorry for the sappy post today,
I miss him much today.
His company lost more young men, brave men this past weekend.
There were also many injuries.
So please pray, if you are so inclined.
This mushy post has made me reminisce, and i thought
I’d post some OLD photos.
enjoy, hehe.
xoxo
