JANUARY 1, 1945
1945 Another brand new year,
with thoughts and prayers
for victory and peace being
most important in everyone’s
mind and heart! I pray
that our hopes and wishes
do come true – I want
the end of the war and the
beginning of a truly happy,
normalish life -- so very badly.
It was a rainy day and
we stayed close to home.
Bill couldn’t get a pass and
I’m afraid that last night
was the last time for awhile,
but even so our dreams and
plans kept me beaming. We’ve
come a long way in the past
four years: - from Willkie buttons
to a school ring and talk of
other rings to come.
