update on the b/k fanvid... it's somehow getting longer LOL (I was cutting the song before and now I've added more 😭) it's 4 mins long which is the longest fanvid I've made and it's like. I swear they don't even have that many scenes so how have I managed this!! I'm putting so much effort into it for it to get approx 3 views... but I will watch it a million times myself 🙂↕️ and it should be finished by tomorrow (unless I redo everything I did today cos my brain hates me) anyway. yippee!

"Dad has this record of "People Will Say We're in Love." Reminds me of a couple I once knew, so there's that tricky smile on my lips and a wee bit of twinkle in my eye as I listen." — Dick Winters in a letter to DeEtta Almon

Grace Nixon's letter to Dick Winters, 9 Feb. 1995
Dear Dick, This little card says very little of my deepest appreciation, affection, and gratitude for all you have done for me—for your thoughtfulness to even write Miguel about his grandfather, his great grandfather, etc. touched me greatly. You are and always have been all these years such a true friend in all respects. I do not know anyone whom Lewis respected more than you, Dick Winters. [...]—and again, thank you, Dick Winters. Much love, Grace
