&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Second World War has started &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;and teenage Dolores stands over a small suitcase laying open on her bed in Columbus, Ohio.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;She slept in this room through her mother’s three years of illness and the tragic night her mother died, when she was just fifteen.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Some nights, Dolores falls asleep quickly after long days of managing school &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; a home at that tender age. Other nights, she can't sleep, thinking of her handsome fiancé, Bill Wood — a very young man himself, standing on the brink of battle. But tonight, after Dolores tucked a small white New Testament and a white handkerchief on top of her modest clothing and clicked the suitcase closed, she sat down on the bed and looked around the room as if to say goodbye - not to the room, but to her girlhood. For tonight she may not sleep at all, as she cherishes a very secret hope in her heart - the hope that she will return home to this room as a married woman. Because if all goes well on her trip to Washington State, she will marry Bill. He will go to war as a husband, while she waits, prays, and works for Victory Day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Today, we hear from the youngest daughter of Dolores, who was always a homemaker first, and Bill, a career baker.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Through their many kitchens - her mother's home kitchens and her father's bakeries - Melissa traces her parent's life of steadfast love and deep devotion: to one another, to their God, and to an institution that, at times, threatened to take advantage of that devotion.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;And in that crisis, it was Dolores and Bill’s love for one another — steadfast, selfless, and always protective — that preserved their hearts and family.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;We start with a recipe in Dolores’s handwriting, but titled “Dad’s Apple Dumplings”. For what God joined together in Washington State more than 80 years ago, Melissa could not separate — not even when choosing a recipe. 🙂&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 class="wp-block-heading"&gt;Listen to Melissa Now&lt;/h2&gt;

Other nights, she can't sleep, thinking of her handsome fiancé, Bill Wood — a very young man himself, standing on the brink of battle. But tonight, after Dolores tucked a small white New Testament and a white handkerchief on top of her modest clothing and clicked the suitcase closed, she sat down on the bed and looked around the room as if to say goodbye - not to the room, but to her girlhood. For tonight she may not sleep at all, as she cherishes a very secret hope in her heart - the hope that she will return home to this room as a married woman. Because if all goes well on her trip to Washington State, she will marry Bill. He will go to war as a husband, while she waits, prays, and works for Victory Day.</em></p> <p><em>Today, we hear from the youngest daughter of Dolores, who was always a homemaker first, and Bill, a career baker.</em></p> <p><em>Through their many kitchens - her mother's home kitchens and her father's bakeries - Melissa traces her parent's life of steadfast love and deep devotion: to one another, to their God, and to an institution that, at times, threatened to take advantage of that devotion.</em></p> <p><em>And in that crisis, it was Dolores and Bill’s love for one another — steadfast, selfless, and always protective — that preserved their hearts and family.</em></p> <p><em>We start with a recipe in Dolores’s handwriting, but titled “Dad’s Apple Dumplings”. For what God joined together in Washington State more than 80 years ago, Melissa could not separate — not even when choosing a recipe. 🙂</em></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Listen to Melissa
