He was a poor farmer living a simple country life marked with toil and missing the luxuries of his time. She was a young, devout Christian woman living life to its fullest in a nearby town. Eight miles separated them but could not keep them apart. What transpired was a relationship via the post; letters of frustration, celebration, sorrow, and comfort; reflections on life, death, friendship, and love. Living and breathing through each correspondence is the very spirit of a Holy God whose presence and purpose would define a family for generations. They may have been simple people living an ordinary life, but their faith-filled examples left a legacy of love that will last forever.
