DEUTSCH
Bill schreibt jeden Morgen einen Brief. Keine langen Liebesgedichte, nur ein paar Zeilen für Kirsten. „Guten Morgen, meine Liebe! Ich hoffe, du hast einen schönen Tag.“Er begann damit 1974, als sie frisch verliebt waren. Jeden Tag ein kleiner Zettel, manchmal auf einer Serviette, manchmal auf Postkarten.Selbst nach der Hochzeit hörte er nicht auf. „Warum schreibst du mir, wenn wir zusammen leben?“ fragt Kirsten einmal lachend. Bill zuckt die Schultern: „Weil ich dich liebe.“Über 40 Jahre lang sammeln sich die Briefe in Schachteln. Manche sind voller Humor, andere erinnern an besondere Tage.Egal, ob sie zusammen frühstücken oder verreist sind – Bill vergisst nie, zu schreiben. Einmal legt er einen Brief unter ihr Kopfkissen.Heute sind es über 14.000 Briefe. Ihre Enkel fragen: „Opa, warum?“ Bill lächelt: „Liebe darf nie selbstverständlich werden.“Vielleicht kannst du heute auch jemandem ein paar liebe Worte schreiben. Ein kleiner Zettel kann viel bedeuten.

ENGLISH
Bill writes a letter every morning. No long love poems, just a few lines for Kirsten. “Good morning, my love! I hope you have a great day.” He started in 1974 when they were newly in love. Every day a little note, sometimes on a napkin, sometimes on postcards. Even after the wedding, he didn’t stop. “Why do you write to me when we live together?” Kirsten asks, laughing. Bill shrugs his shoulders: “Because I love you.” For over 40 years, the letters pile up in boxes. Some are full of humor, others remind them of special days. No matter if they have breakfast together or if one of them is traveling – Bill never forgets to write. Once, he puts a letter under her pillow. Today, there are over 14,000 letters. Their grandchildren ask, “Grandpa, why?” Bill smiles: “Love should never be taken for granted.” Maybe today you can write a few kind words to someone. A little note can mean a lot.
