a personal handwritten note is one of the most romatic things in the world! there’s a novel about a man who writes his wife a letter every week for their entire married life. those letters are found by their children after they die. it’s a really good read! the book is “the wednesday letters” by jason f. wright.

I’ll have to read the book! After my dad passed away, mom showed me some of the letters he sent her when he was in the Korean war. His letter showed a side of him I had never seen. It’s no wonder they stayed married for 53 years!

When I was a brand spanking new second lieutenant at my first assignment in Germany, I always looked forward to letters from mom and dad. Back then making a long distance call to the States was very expensive, and word-processing was still a thing of the future.
