Day 39 101 Days Left Maxie's pictures keep me going. Bugs and more bugs
Thurs. Dear Maxie,
Today is the second day in a row that I haven’t gotten a letter from you and I’m starting to get a little depressed. No letter mail at all came in today and I didn’t get one yesterday. It’s pretty hard to have a day pass over here without a letter from you, much less two in a row. I hope tomorrow will be better and that I’ll get a couple of letters – I need some to cheer me up. I think that the only thing that keeps me going now is your pictures. I can’t express how much good they do me. Just to be able to say that I’ll be coming home to the beautiful woman in the pictures makes life over here worth living. It will be all over in a little over 5 months now. It’s hard to believe that the month of August is already half over. Where did it go? I hope the rest of the five months will fly by – I need to be home in your arms. It hasn’t rained today but did sprinkle a bit tonite. I don’t know where all the bugs came from all of a sudden, but they did. I had planned to do a little work tonite while it’s cool, but I got under my mosquito net as quickly as possible because the bugs flocked around the light where I was working. I’m grateful for this net because now I can write letters and not have to worry about them. It’s finally started raining – it took long enough. It’s a relief because it has been so humid. I still wish that I could hold you in the rain. Listening to the rain on the tent makes me terribly lonely. I miss you, Maxie. I love you. Love,
Gary
