And I have all the letters my mother wrote home to her family when she was in college! I love being able to recognize the beautiful handwriting whenever I come across it. What is really sad is that today's kids aren't even learning to write in cursive, and they will then no longer be able to read it either. So will no one eventually be able to read the wealth of handwritten letters and documents that exist from the past?Swediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046285607717319111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-21498120667329723272010-05-05T10:25:37.470-05:002010-05-05T10:25:37.470-05:00I guess I am just a really weird person, but I hav...I guess I am just a really weird person, but I have printed out a huge bunch of emails from family and friends. So I have to answer yes to "have you ever printed out and saved an email?" And I can't begin to tell you how thankful I am that I did print them out, because for one reason or another I have many times lost my saved email. But I still have my "letters" - which are almost the only letters I get now that everyone does email.Swediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046285607717319111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-73359132498322257512010-03-27T15:55:26.347-05:002010-03-27T15:55:26.347-05:00Writing a letter to each of my children for after ...Writing a letter to each of my children for after I'm gone, is something that I've always wanted to do.

In that experience every student gets a love letter from their mom and dad...and then -- all their friends. It was and IS an amazing experience. <br /><br />It is so amazing..I gave the experience to my husband for Christmas. I contacted friends from the span of his lifetime and on Christmas morning....he had a box full of letters..love letters. <br /><br />There is something about the written word. Those words are forever imprinted on our hearts and interwoven within our souls.<br /><br />Sorry for the novel...just had to share.<br /><br />Cheers~<br />eMegandvd@Beauty in the Attempthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805696515123695246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2576412671838090092.post-80342486542544881342010-03-18T19:58:23.625-05:002010-03-18T19:58:23.625-05:00I have often thought of doing this and now I have ...I have often thought of doing this and now I have no excuse.
