Yesterday I was digging
around in the craftroom
when I saw this letter
peeking out at me.
I think I kept it
where I might stumble upon it
from time to time.
I have a box of them stowed away somewhere
but just needed one
to look at now and then.
I love to see my Dad's
handwriting.
He usually signed things
Love, Daddy.
He talks about his friend
bringing him some
chicken and dumplings
and lemon pie.
And I remember how many friends
he had,
and how they looked after him
and
cared for him
when I could not.
When I saw it there
yesterday
it was comforting.
This morning when I woke up
I thought of it again.
It made me think...
when was the last time
I wrote a letter?
or even a card?
Does anyone ever see my hand writing
anymore?
I type everything.
Sometimes I scribble
Love, Mom and Dad
on a card,
but that doesn't count.
We should all write
something
to
someone
today.
It's comforting.
What a great post! That is such a good point. We type so much these days instead of handwritten notes.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to keep that in mind. It is always nice to receive a handwritten note from someone.
Thanks for sharing!
That's precious. Makes me want to dig out a card from my Grandma. You didn't mention the "new fancy underwear" in your post. I thought this was a family show!! ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post! I guess I haven't really thought about that lately, but it's so true. I type everthing pretty much except for signing cards. Hope you have a great weekend...
