My Darling Helen, My Dearest Eugene

       I am writing this blog in honor of my grandmother and   grandfather, whom taught me what love looks like. I recently became lucky enough to acquire hundreds, maybe more than a thousand of the letters that were written between them during the years of 1944-1946 while my grandfather Eugene Johnson was serving during World War II. During this time my grandmother Helen was home in Indiana raising their two children. This blog is for all of my many cousins who also were lucky enough to witness the love these two had for one another. I will be typing these letters out, but they may not all be in correct order. Although each is dated I plan to make entries starting in March of 1944. These are when the letters I have start. Please enjoy and I hope everyone reading these can take away a little lesson to use in your own life. Something I believe my grandparents lived by............. "Love is patient; love is always kind; love is never envious or arrogant with pride. Nor is she conceited."
