A few weeks ago, my husband’s aunt sent me a handwritten letter. I will be honest here - when I first received it, I opened it up, felt the thickness of the folded up yellow sheets, and inwardly groaned. I wanted to have enough time to sit and read the entire thing without interruption, but when was I going to find that? I carried the letter with me for several weeks shoved in my purse or my backpack, but I never got to it during the work week.
I finally found the time Saturday afternoon, and when I finished reading the letter, I felt a huge sense of loss for all the letters I haven’t received or written since email, texting, and facebook appeared in my life.
