IT IS true—and a shame—that most people do not write letters anymore. Instead, they prefer to express their feelings through text messages, social media forums, blogs, or Facebook posts. As a result, our daily interactions have become faceless, impersonal, and temporary. Very few people, if any at all, still pause to appreciate the lasting power of the written word.
Years ago, whenever parents had the chance to talk to their children, they were sometimes disappointed because they didn’t know how to communicate exactly what they wanted to say. So, they resorted to letters. Some of these handwritten letters were so beautifully composed and deeply inspiring that their recipients cherished and kept them in personal files for decades. Love letters, letters between friends, or notes from a parent to a child always carry sweet reminders of emotions that time has long swept away.
