Each month in our newsletter, we share letter stories from around the world. A few times a year we try to put together those stories in one place so that readers can enjoy them for time to come. Here are three love letter stories.

Thanks to social media McFarland's son, Bruce, was reunited with the letter from his father to his mother. Bruce's father died when he was just 12, and Bruce said that receiving the letter was a piece in getting to know his father.
