It is said that true love stands the test of time.
For Carol Bohlin of Tinmouth, Vermont, it’s her parents' World War II-era love letters that proved indelible when they were gifted to her by a complete stranger who found them nearly 80 years after they were written.
"I was really so surprised they found these," Bohlin, 76, told Fox News Digital.
"I never expected this."
Bohlin, the daughter of Claude Marsten Smythe and Marie Borgal Smythe of Staten Island, New York, said she had no idea her parents had saved and hidden away their only means of communication while her father was serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II.
"In the letters, he was very concerned about my mother because she was not very well," Bohlin said.
"He called her ‘dearest’ and ‘honey.’ He asked about relatives, like an uncle I never met who died of tuberculosis in his 20s," she added.
