This Couple’s New Home Revealed A Touching Love Story From A Different Era

Everybody has either been through or known somebody who has been part of a long-distance relationship and knows that it is difficult to keep the spark. Even in the age of the internet and cell phones, we sometimes feel very distant from our loved one when you are apart. Now imagine only being able to speak to each other over written letters!

To feel closer to one another, “Bud and Doreen listened to the same radio stations at the same time and would write about how connected they would feel to each other even though they were miles apart,” Shannon said.

“Each letter was talking about their day-to-day life that week, but each letter wrote of their longing to be in the same area.”

The couple eventually married, had two sons, and bought what is now the Carters’ home.
