I think its essential to continue the practice of letter writing because it brightens so many people’s days to receive mail. I still send cards and letters quite often. And I too have every card letter etc ever written to me and still run to the mailbox hoping for something thats not a bill!

I could not agree more. A letter or card in the mail is still priceless. In fact I still run out to my mailbox every day with the excitement that there may be something rather than junk or bills waiting for me! When there is I usually have to rip it open at the end of my drive way because waiting until I got back in the house would be way too long! I love old fashioned mail. I must say though you are lucky that your 42 cent budget covered the stamp. It won’t for much longer!

I will have to admit that receiving a hand written card is like receiving a gift. The gift of words is so much more meaningful when it can be read over and over. And not too long ago I ran across a pile of birthday cards that I had written to my mother and father in the 60′s and 70′s. It was detailing and recapturing the young lives of my children. My parents kept every Birthday Father’s day Mother’s Day and Anniversary card I ever wrote. To this day I have a birthday card my mother mailed to me on my 7th birthday. It had a .03 stamp on it. I had never received anything in the mail with my name of it before. It meant the world to me . Just like your article there is no comparison from an ole fashion U.S. mailed card to receiving an email. I loved your letter.
