I've been rereading some of the letters I've collected and there is a few things I've forgotten to mention in my letters.
First of all, and I don't see why I forgot this, I definitely do not want you to take birth control pills, I don't want you to take anything you don't have to take. If we're going to have a baby I want a normal healthy one, we'll just have to work out some way where we can have the baby when we want it. I've got an idea but I've got some more research to do on it, so I'll tell you what it is when I get up there.
Second, is your father going to wear a tuxedo for the wedding? I've got to know because my Father wants to know if he is supposed to wear one. If this wedding is going to be that formal where both father's get all decked out , would you please send my father a form so he can get his measurements taken for a tuxedo.
Third, my family has already made reservations at the Holiday Inn - South at Interstate I-94 and College Ave. My Mother & Father will be arriving at 2:20 pm on Thursday, 15 Oct. 1970, on flight 367 United Airlines. My two brothers and my sister will arrive at 2:20 pm Friday, 16 Oct. 1970.
Fourth and definitely not least, You see, Renee, I thought I was lonely when I was living in the barracks, but now that I'm living alone in this apartment with no one to talk to, I'm going right out of my mind. Last night, my first night in the apartment, I went to bed about 10:30 pm. I couldn't fall asleep all I could do was lie there thinking of you; of how beautiful, warm and loving you are and how much I miss and need you, I kept on thinking of what it was like when we were together. It got so bad that when I thought of the fact that you weren't here I felt like screaming.
I got up took a cold shower, got a glass of milk and some cookies and watched the late show. After the late show I was so tired that I couldn't even think so I finally fell asleep.
(I have chosen to omit about 4 paragraphs of content here, I know they were a young couple in love, but as their daughter it is my duty to be creeped out by my Father's ramblings about how much he physically needs and wants my Mother. So I have decided to fast forward through that part.)
I don't know if anything can ease the pain of being separated from you. Let me tell you Renee, if I ever get my arms around you again, I'll never let you go. I'd better stop now.
