He's been writing (and complaining about not having spell-check). We've received many notes, and so have both sets of his grandparents, his brother and his sister. Real letters. Long. Hand-written (printed, not cursive--see my Cozy Chicks post last week). Wonderful letters that are full of information about his days.
And we've written back. A lot. Lots of cards and long notes and jokes and stories and football scores.
It made me realize how much I miss letters. How strange it is to see an envelope in the mailbox that's hand-written, not computer generated. I send a lot of cards, but I think I need to start sending more letters. Not sure to whom just yet, since son # 1 will be getting his computer back soon, but someone. :)
Do you send a lot of hand-written notes? Get many?
You can send me a letter ;). I can't remember the last time I wrote an actual letter. I think I will work on that too!
ReplyDeleteLOL, Lori! Okay!
ReplyDeleteI posted this, then the mail came--and guess what? A card for me from a dear friend. With a hand-written (cursive!) note. Very nice to get. Thanks, Sharon. :)
You can send me a letter and I promise to send you one back.
ReplyDeleteI send cards with hand-written notes in them.
I felt the same way earlier this year. My son, too, went off to Army Basic Training in January of this year. (he was sent to Oklahoma)-- It was the longest 3 months of my life, but the letters I received from him were what got me through. Those were the first letters I'd received in years, from anyone, as handwritten letters have become something of a bygone era. I ran for the mailbox every. single. day. hoping for letter from my son. He is now stationed in Seattle, which isn't ideal as I live in Florida, but at least I can call him and hear his voice anytime I want-- but I do miss the letters I received while he was in Basic.
