00:00 I chose something that is hard to read without crying, so be patient.
00:10 My mom spent most of her life in love with my dad.
00:18 Their partnership and love story was a defining feature of her life.
00:23 Because he isn't able to speak to you today, I am going to share some of his words about
00:28 loving and missing her.
00:33 This is from a letter he wrote 75 years ago while he was serving in the Navy.
00:42 My darling, every time I have ever been away from you, I have been thrilled when I returned
00:48 to discover just how wonderful you are.
00:53 While I am away, I try to convince myself that you really are not, could not be as sweet
00:59 and beautiful as I remember.
01:03 But when I see you, I fall in love with you all over again.
01:07 Does that seem strange to you?
01:10 It doesn't to me.
01:12 Goodbye darling, until tomorrow.
01:15 Jimmy.
01:16 I love you.
