Allen Cook and his daughter Melissa were renovating(整修) her house, when they found a beautiful, heart-warming love story. “The envelope in the ceiling was old and yellow. It had never been opened, It was unbelievable when my son-in-low started reading it. In the letter she was talking about the baby she was going to have,” Allen Cook said.
The story began in May 4, 1945, the typed letter was written by a woman named Virginia to her husband, Rolf Christoffersen. At the time, he was a sailor in the Norwegian navy. The envelope was marked “return to sender” and never found its way to her husband. Allen’s daughter used the Internet to find the phone number of someone named Rolf Christoffersen and gave him a call, leading her to his son in Santa Barbara, California.
“Someone called me at my office. They just googled my name because I have the same name as my father. Melissa asked me where I grew up and I told her. She told me she had the letter,” Christoffersen’s son, 66 now, said. The younger Christoffersen wasn’t yet born when his mother Virginia wrote the letter, but he said her words were very special to him. His mother, who died six years ago, wrote about her love for her husband.
“I love you Rolf, as I love the warm sun, and that is what you are for my life, the sun about which everything else revolves around me,” she wrote. Seventy-two years later, her words were finally heard by her husband. Christoffersen immediately called his father, who is now 96. And read the letter to him over the phone. “I was so surprised after all these years. I was very emotional,” the elder Christoffersen said.
The long-lost letter was finally received just before Mother’s Day; it was another tangible connection to Virginia Christoffersen. “It’s Mother’s Day and reading her words reminded me just what a wonderful person she was and how much she loved us” her son said, through tears.
