After many months apart, the couple was married March 28, 1942 while Bob was on leave from training. While the newlyweds were able to have a honeymoon in Boston, this blissful time came to a halt with Bob’s return to training. Bob and Peggy experienced most of these milestone moments in their relationship in a way that must have been difficult. Yet, they joyfully embraced each moment together. The news that Peggy was pregnant arrived while Bob was away training and made him ecstatic; they shared a brief time celebrating this news together. Then it was months before he would see Peggy and meet their baby boy, Bobby. Their reunion was no doubt one of intense emotion and relief. They had some time all together while Bob continued training to be a pilot. Shortly before he was deployed and they would face the most difficult goodbye, the couple purchased baby slippers for Bobby and each kept one after Bob was deployed. It served not only as an emotional comfort, but later, a life saver (more about that in the film). It would be longer than a year before they reunited again in New York, but when saying goodbye their reunion was not guaranteed. |
