It’s October 26, 1971.

Sarah is seven months pregnant and counting down the final weeks until Dick’s R&R. She calls him “my beloved,” remembering the first night they made love and the life they’ve built since.

Dick, half a world away, writes that he’s ready to get away from the Air Force and all the “bullshit.” Both are running on fumes—tired, lonely, and desperate to hear each other’s voices again. But in their letters, there’s still laughter, longing, and the quiet miracle of love that refuses to fade.
