Oh dear, Cathy is depressed and hospitalized. I know what that is like as I have struggle with depression most of my life. I'm having a bit of it right now. I was never hospitalized for it, my mom was and it was so hard. This is well done as always and am looking forward to see what happens. Rox

Chapter 14 is already in the works and coming soon. God Bless.

Comment from nomi338
Not only is this so realistic that I am convinced that it actually took place. The letter between the two lovers remind me, almost painfully of my various courtships during that time. It reminds me of why I avoided relationships while I was in the Air Force for four years. It is tough. However, during my last year I did get involved with a young lady who lived in a nearby city that I could visit on my three day pass twice a month. She wanted to get married, but she was sixteen and I was twenty one, with no job and no job prospects. It was not gonna happen. Again this was one heck of a write and I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

A "SALUTE," Nolan! Your "Exceptional review, kind words and taking the time to read Love Long Distance, Chapter 13 is an HONOR!" It's extremely impressive having an "Awesome writer," such as yourself to express admiration for our work. Cathy and I read your Profile "ABOUT"...astonishing! Four years with the U.S. Air Force..."HURRAH!" Thanks for helping to keep Ol' Glory up the pole, our dear friend. You might enjoy reading my Profile "ABOUT" as well. Having you follow along with our novel will be "INCREDIBLE." Best wishes for a great week and God Bless.

I am so sorry Cathy is going through this. I know many young women went through similar circumstances during the war. You two are doing a wonderful job writing this.

Comment from Sally Law
Always an excellent write, colorful and full of love and sweet devotion, Cathy and Bill. I love the concept of joined-at-the-hip. I am joined with my husband just like that.
'Fur piece' down the road. A small suggestion, if I may. I would somehow reword this or make it more understandable. I am from the south and this is normal for me so it's not a problem. But for others, it may prove to be. Thanks for the Louie Armstrong song, too. Love him.
Sending you both my best today as always,
Sally xo

Hello Sally! So kind of you to say, "Always an excellent write...." God Bless You!! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing this chapter. Also, for your continued support. We chose "fur piece" because that's how Grandpa talks. Do you think we should add the definition in the comments then? Your input on this matters to us, and we really appreciate what you are sharing. So happy that you married your true love. You are blessed! Sending you our best, as always, too! Chapter 14 is in the works and coming soon.

Poor Cathy, she's missing Bill. There was a lot of that during the Viet Nam. My brother was stationed in Da Nang. I enjoyed this chapter, as I always do with your book. Take care!

Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Tootie. One of the techniques you use is the font change when the character source changes. That makes the narrative easier to follow. There is a sentence in the last paragraph that reminded me of when I was deployed: "I love you more today, than I did yesterday, and I'll love you more tomorrow." The song was "More Today Than Yesterday." It came along in '68 and the band was Spiral Staircase. Every time I hear that song I go back to those days. Robert

Hi Robert! Thanks so much for your reading and reviewing this chapter. Also, for your continued support. Your comment about the font changes is really appreciated. We know the song well by the Spiral Staircase! Great music! Be sure to come back now--Chapter 14 is already in the works and coming soon. We'll see what happens when Bill finds out about what's going on with Cathy.
God Bless.

Comment from Bill Pinder
I'm giving you six stars for expressing a rare combination of genuine love, creativity and humility writing about your own story while going through incredibly hard circumstances in your situation in the service while at the same time your wife was under psychiatric care. Your faith comes through loud and clear.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
First, before I forget, what does, HKAYK, mean? In my day it was LOL-Lots Of Love, (not laugh out loud!) and swalk-sealed with a loving kiss. I don't know your one!
Poor Cathy, I feel for her, I know what that feels like, but mine never did come home. He went to Heaven over 33 years ago. I feel so sorry for Bill, he'll be devastated to know that Cathy is ill and he can't be there for her. The miles apart are painful, but there is nothing those who are doing their duty can do about it. This was such a sad chapter, I read Bill's letter thinking, he doesn't know yet. So sad. Well done, this was a heart breaking chapter. xx :) Sandra xx

Hi Sandra! Thank you so much for reading and reviewing this. Your continued support means so much to us! HKAYK means Hugs, Kisses and...YOU KNOW! Thank you also for sharing. We are so sorry for your loss. Remember the quote from Tennyson - "Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all." And then, there's the quote by William Goldman - "Life isn't fair." Both so very true. Although sad, we're glad you enjoyed Chapter 13. Chapter 14 is in the works and coming soon.

Bill and Cathy
