I met Talle Gilmore 5 years ago on a moonlight night in Southern California. We were instantly attracted to each other. Our initial eye contact from across the room quickly pulled us together like gravity. While we were physically separated not too long after our first encounter, our love has made us inseparable ever since. This is the making of a real True Love story. Two months after I met Talle I deployed to Iraq for the second time. Every moment I had we corresponded via emails, letters, or phone calls. We were in love, but it was new and fragile. Seven months is a long time for love to wait, especially when you have just met. This is a collection of those emails and letters that we shared over seven months. Without even knowing it, we were writing our story with every word. We were strengthening our love with every keystroke. This is the legacy of the love we cultivated during some of the most difficult times in our generation.
