Hello mi amor,
It's been three weeks since I heard from you my love and i'm starting to get worried. I know how hard you're working but I need to know that you're OK or at least alive. Tommy has been asking after his daddy and why he hasn't come home yet and I keep trying to explain that you have gone off to war but every time I mention he it he breaks down crying. It's a heart breaking sight one i'm thankful you don't have to see; however, I know you far worse sights than I have to. I hope that you haven't seen anything too traumatic my love so you come back to me with the same beautiful mind you left with. I have been listening to the radio every morning in hopes that your name does not get called out; mi amor please come back as soon as you can. I feel so lost without you here with me. I hate this terrible war, I hate how it has separated us for so long; I hate how you could be getting hurt right now or worse to even think about why you haven't been writing back to me. Andy I need you, please come back, I miss you so much. I've put a picture I got of Tommy and I last week for Jack and Brooks annual family BBQ; it was hard when everyone was asking questions about you it hurt my heart to have to answer the majority with "I don't know" but it's the truth, I don't know if anything has happened to you mi amor, have you moved camps? Is that why you haven't been able to write back? I'm afraid I have to go now, please I beg of you to write me back, just anything so I know that you're OK. I love you Andy.
Love from your husband Rye. xx

Hello mi amor,
I still haven't heard from and it's making my worry grow, where are you? You must be awfully cold. Please let me know you're safe I cannot handle the thought of something bad happening to you. I know it's bad but I find myself praying that you get injured only slightly so I can receive news that you're at least alive and being looked after. Tommy still asks after you, although now he is becoming more upset as more soldiers are returning home and most of his friends in school are asking him when you're coming home to which he used to reply with "soon" but now walks away too upset to answer. I don't mean to tell you things to upset you mi amor I only tell you because I have no one to cry to anymore; I have to stay strong for our boy but it's becoming difficult. Brook and Jack have been around a lot more often to mainly check up on us, see how we're doing but I know it is mainly to see if you are home yet; each time they enter the first thing they ask is if you are home. I have been sleeping on the couch instead of our bed, I felt it only unfair for me to do such a thing since you don't have the same luxury. I miss you so much mi amor, I need you to come back soon, alive. I couldn't handle anything other than you being alive. I often tell myself that you are on your way home as an excuse for you not being able to write back because I would get to see you soon and hear that most amazing voice you have. Oh how I miss your voice, and your laugh, I would do anything just to hear your laugh again. I have dreamt about you every night but now your voice is beginning to fade, please mi amor it's been two years since I last saw your face; two years since I last got to hold you, since you got to hold Tommy. His birthday is in two days, not like you have forgotten you started your countdown two months ago memory serves me right; I must say it won't be a happy day with how much we miss you but we celebrate for you. He asked me if we could get the family round and celebrate you, despite him missing you so much his heart is equally filled with pride for your bravery; he even made one of his class projects about his "father the hero" says you're a warrior. He's not wrong Andy, I am also proud of how brave you have been but that has recently been overcome with worry and heartache. I try not to think the worst I really do but it's difficult when I haven't heard anything from you. Please Andy just come home. I love and miss you always.
Love from Rye. xx
It has been 6 days since I sent that letter and I hadn't heard anything back from him; I was cast away from my thoughts when I heard news from the radio that a plane had been shot down in the middle of the ocean killing 6 out 14 soldiers, 4 had managed to survive and the rest are missing. They won't reveal the names of those who survived or died or went missing till tomorrow morning when they are certain the family members have been informed. My anxiety level has just broke world record at this point, i'm so terrified if one of the missing or dead men are my Andy, I simply couldn't cope and I have no time to because a knock on the door has thankfully distracted me. When I get to the door I open expecting it to just be Brooklyn and Jack but instead I am greeted with two officers and a soldier standing in my doorway; before any of the men can open there mouth to speak I drop down to my knees in floods of tears crying harder than I think I ever have in my whole life.
Hey guys I sort of went with a whole new style so let me know what you think, hopefully it wasn't too awful. Love yas.
