In this deeply personal letter from May 22, 1971, Sarah writes to Dick from their apartment in San Antonio with joyful, vulnerable news—her pregnancy test is positive. She shares her mother’s instant certainty that they’re having a girl and reassures Dick that he is, without question, the only one she loves. The pain of missed phone calls and distance weighs on her, but she closes with a tender plea: “I wuv you!! Please remember that—your wife, the Mom of your child.”

This episode is part of The Allgoods: Vietnam Through the Eyes of Love, a podcast sharing the real-life letters between Air Force pilot Dick Allgood and his wife Sarah during the Vietnam War, as they navigate distance, pregnancy, and a love that endured it all.
