Chapter Eleven

As Peter started to write his letter, he started to think quickly about the things that he was going to say, he wanted to write to Ruby, but then he wanted to write to his brother to see how he was doing because he cared about Gavin more than anyone else.

He just started writing. 

January 13, 1944

Dear Ruby,

I know it's a little later that I wanted to write, but here I am writing to you. Better late than never right.

I just wanted to see if Gavin was still working with you, is everyone okay. Have you been visiting him at all after work? Have you been visiting Delilah? How is she? Is Jack alright?

I have so much to tell you already in such a short amount of time. Gavin too, and Delilah as well. I got to Italy, and I saw so many brand new faces, and they didn't know who Gavin was, which sort of did help me with my confidence and reminded me that not everyone is going to know Gavin. Sometimes people will just know me. I already told you this but I feel like my confidence has gotten so much since Gavin decided to resign from flying. 

Italy is different than I thought it would be. Of course, I didn't think I was going to be touring the beautiful town of Rome. But immediately we rushed into our battle plan and training. I didn't make a lot of friends quickly. Mike is with me, and I am lucky to have him by my side because I need him more than ever. He has had my back from the start, he was there with me when I first enlisted, he was with me in Hawaii. I helped him talk to the girl he was in love with, and he helped me with my confidence and become a better pilot than ever before. Now here we are together, fighting on grounds and going for the biggest invasion of the war the Allied Forces are about to go into. Mike and I always knew what we were getting ourselves into. He had to leave his wife and daughter, who is around the same age as Jack. He admitted leaving them wasn't easy because he had so much that he got that he always wanted and he felt as if he was leaving it all behind. But his wife, Lucy is someone I also knew in Hawaii, and she is more understanding than ever. She knows that men like us never really have a choice.  I always wondered how Lucy was doing, Mike said she's doing better now. She's happier with him in New York than she is in Chicago with her family.

I never thought I would ever make it this far. Never in a million years. I didn't think I would be the one continuing in the Military three years later. I thought I was going to crack after the attack on Pearl Harbor. But if it weren't for Gavin, Dominic, Mike, and the rest of the people that have supported me in Hawaii. I don't think I would be here today, writing to you in Italy.

Can you promise me that you will check on Gavin from time to time as I am not around, can you promise me to check on Delilah too, I want to know how she and Jack are doing. I want to know that Delilah is happy, I want Jack to be happy, and of course, I want Gavin to be happy as well. I want them safe, and I want everything to work out between them because if the two of them don't work out, I don't know if I can ever believe in love because those two helped me believe that love is real. Gavin is also my best friend, and I don't know what I would do without him. He is also my brother, my big brother, and my role model and I don't know where I would be without him.

I almost lost him once, and I just can't have Delilah or myself deal with that pain again. Just promise me you will help the three of them get everything worked out, because they all deserve to be that happy family, and I want to be there to see their family grow.

I hope you write to me soon, because I want to know how everyone is.

Thank you for your time.
