May I place my pre-order now, please? 🤗
Memories... we can pen them, share them, or take them to the grave. There is not much point in the latter. This is a wonderful idea to capture your husband's experience and perspective for perpetuity. Hopefully, many others will learn something from what he has to share, and I can't think of anyone better to ensure that his story is sensitively inked and preserved than you. Although the subject matter is challenging, it's really good that he is now able to voice his experience of the war. It should prove to be something of a catharsis for him. So interesting yet not surprising that he appears to be emotionally distant from that part of his life. I wonder if you both need to be prepared for the emotion to bubble up one day, perhaps when least expected. Wishing you all the very best with this important project. Much love !LUV !ALIVE
Hello dear @samsmith1971,
Thank you for your confidence and encouragement. I really do think if I do this right it will add something to our understanding of what it's like to be in the thick of battle. My husband has said fear was not his chief response to war. It was the way he lived. It was always being outside, and wet. It was the rats. It was the sheer quality of life. It's possible he is still not fully acknowledging the fear.
He does seem very willing to share. I'm glad that we're getting it down (here's hoping!) so that my children will see a side of him that helps them understand who he is.
Thank you for your support.
