Old School Communication: Letters

Being the wife,daughter,girlfriend or niece of a man that was in WWI would be intence. Having to wait week after week just to receive one letter from your love one. Never knowing if there ok. Not knowing if there alive. Is worrying and stressful thing. Not being able to hug that person, seeing that person or even just hearing there voice for a little comfort. Always having hope that they'll return safly home and yet feeling afraid of every knock in the door. Fearing bad news and no news at all.
