      Sing, O Muse, of the doomed romances of the Eigenlings, the age-withered and war-weary, driven time and time off the course of Love

      My family history is lousy with ill-fated romances. I just finished Corelli's Mandolin and I am inspired to relate the story of one of these

      Before my grandfather met my grandmother, he was ground infantry in Europe. He wasn't at Normandy, but his occasional story . . .

      from the Ardennes is enough to cure you of wanting to go to war. He fought all the way to Berlin, and occupied it through demobilization.

      After returning to the US, he met and married my grandmother and had five kids. They were married 60+ years before she passed in 2009.

      Some time after my grandmother's death, my uncle revealed a letter he'd come into possession of. It was addressed to Gpa, at an old address.

      By now, you are guessing that the letter came from Berlin; and so it did. Unfortunately, it was not from his wartime paramour.

      After demobilization, he had tried to stay in touch with her; but, Berlin, 1945. They never managed to speak after he left.

          The letter was from Gpa's first daughter, written by her daughter. She was very sick, and wanted to meet her dad while she could.

          And that is the story of my secret German family. Gpa did manage to meet his daughter several times, and the whole clan is lovely.
