Letter

He met his bride on a three-day cruise he bought as a gift for his teenage daughter to make up for forcing her to adapt to the demands of his flying job. Being an Air Force pilot forced him away from her with multiple deployments and other duties more than either of them wanted and made raising a teenage daughter even more difficult. He hoped a short cruise would allow them some quality time together before the next crisis developed, taking him to the far reaches of the earth, wherever that might be.However adventurous and demanding his job was, without knowing or expecting it, the adventure of his lifetime began the moment he saw her in the dining room line on the cruise ship and then was head over heels hooked when he heard his future bride speak. The adventure developed almost at once when he and his daughter were seated, quite unknowingly and more than a little surprised, with her and her mother and sister at dinner.The Letter highlights the real-life difficulties and adventures of an Air Force aviator but is centered around the chance meeting between two people and the near impossible odds of them ever being together. It is a long-distance romance that should never have happened, but by either sheer luck or fate or destiny or a string of pure coincidence, it happened. While a work of fiction, The Letter is based upon actual events.
