And hanging on to it silly? No way. I have lots of old cards and letters from various people in my life, I hung on to them for the memories. Can't really do that with email.<br /><br />Although I like the convenience of email, nothing beats getting a card or written letter in the mail. It takes a little extra effort, but it seems to hold so much more meaning, in my opinion. We are losing our willingness, I think, to put in that little extra effort, take the extra minute for someone.<br /><br />Sorry you had that very difficult time, but so glad your mom shared that uplifting sentiment. She sounds like she was a wonderful mom and person.

My wife (Diane of Lydia's Post fame) is one of the few people I know who writes letters. I have kept every letter, note and card from her since we were married a 'few' years ago. I also keep all the notes and cards from our daughter. There is talk about eliminating cursive writing in schools. That is a shame because that is such a personal way of communicating. I think that is why we keep our notes, cards and such. Thanks for the post and the nice comments about Lydia's Post. Have a happy Friday.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04511624515566530532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-89695279971078615772013-04-26T06:16:23.388-05:002013-04-26T06:16:23.388-05:00Lovely post-- and than you for the mention.

By the way, my mom was lefthanded too and had really beautiful printing and handwriting. These type of notes are so much more than personal, and does anyone really "keep" an email??Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336382489523622350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9173649280963485189.post-80502867051226804022013-04-25T23:18:14.514-05:002013-04-25T23:18:14.514-05:00What a sweet treasure from your mother!

I do try to send personal thank you cards and notes, and have sent Christmas cards ever year for the last 40 years...Linda @ Itsy Bits And Pieceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12090973681675943970noreply@blogger.com
