During WW 2 my grandmother had the unimaginable position of being the mother of 3 soilders in War. During the time my daddy was writing these letters part of them came from Somewhere in England as the ones on this page are and part were Somewhere in France. During this time Uncle Ray was in the hospital in England recovering from wounds recieved in combat, daddys whereabouts were vague and Uncle Mull was missing in action after being taken prisoner of war in Germany. Daddy in his letters convayed to Grandmother in one that he had seen uncle Ray in the hospital in England and he was doing fine and that he was trying to locate uncle Charles. In each of his letters he tried over an over to tell her to please not worry and he was worried that she would need money. These letters were very hard for me to read and I saw a side of my father that i did not know existed. I always knew he was a wonderful man to me the Hero of my life but I did not know that he was such a great Son.
I wrote the following poem which came into my head as I read these letters.
Letters to Granny
I found letters to Grandma
From my daddy many years ago
Just how much he loved her I really did not know
Each letter was Hello Mother
Please dont worry about me or my brothers
I have sent you money to use as you need
Please keep sending letters for me to read.
Thank you for the box that you and sisters sent
But dear mother on you the money should be spent
So while you sleep in your bed tonight.
Just remember bothers and I will continue to fight
And maybe soon we can come home
To see our loved ones and no more to roam.
Dear Daddy , Uncle Ray (father of Blueridge) and
Uncle Charles all came home to live good lives.
Granny Net passed away in 1972 with all her sons
safe at home.
