Even the love letters I wrote to my exes.

I do almost everything on the computer.<br /><br />When my mother in law died, Ron and I found boxes and boxes of my handwritten letters and cards to her. She saved them all and I was astounded at the number of them.<br /><br />This brought back many memories.<br /><br />I pray you are getting stronger as each day passes.<br /><br />Love,BBarb https://www.blogger.com/profile/03410036713000396886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-26370785260642441662013-01-27T23:26:05.443-06:002013-01-27T23:26:05.443-06:00Oh how I love handwritten letters.

Oh, to turn back the hands of time and retrieve them. This was a beautiful heart felt post. Hope you will soon be back to your self again. We have a lot to catch up on.

They are such great memories and take me back as if I were reliving that era again. I also agree about the hand written letters.

I surely miss your wonderful and sweet posts.<br />It saddens me to see that people do not take the time to pen a short note to someone they love. Like you I treasure all letters that have been written to me and I still have kept the letters and notes written to me by my ex husband. I know my kids are going to think I am so silly saving those but I wanted them to see how much "in love" we were when their parents were young.<br />I hope you are healing well and I will look forward to reading your posts when you are feeling up to it.<br />Suzann ~xoxo~ShabbyESPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03646241202947856582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-77811752430953726102013-01-27T15:23:32.537-06:002013-01-27T15:23:32.537-06:00That was a lovely post.

Your letter are precious.<br />Years ago my sister and I returned the letters we'd written to one another.

I wish I had some letters. I do have many cards from holidays from my mother and sister and other relatives. One day I had so many in shoeboxes I was cleaning out the house and was going to throw them away. My daughter said not to and I am glad I didn't. Maybe one day my grandkids will be happy to look at them and read what was happening at that time. take care, DarleneDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04700985962120616359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-70559567555237069582013-01-27T12:43:39.842-06:002013-01-27T12:43:39.842-06:00What a beautiful post, I too love the letters I ha...What a beautiful post, I too love the letters I have saved. We recently cleaned out my mother's home after she went to be with the Father this last summer. We read and read and she had saved everything. I kept some of the special ones from my grandmother and aunts and it was a beautiful time of remembering our childhoods through these handwritten lines. I so agree about all the correspondence today, it is just not the same at all. Glad to know your hands are doing so much better. Thanks for sharing the love.

But I do treasure them as in handwriting there is so much revealed! A character can be unraveled from the handwriting itself and the words have so much meaning... Yes, the written word is powerful! Like the bible, the oldest writing we all still adhere to, it means so much in our lives.<br />Keep those wonderful sentiments. You might be able to sort them out and bundle them for the next generation... Hugs to you dear fiend.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-73324873630168581202013-01-27T07:33:41.292-06:002013-01-27T07:33:41.292-06:00What a beautiful heartfelt post Rebecca... it brou...What a beautiful heartfelt post Rebecca... it brought tears to my eyes... I love handwritten letters too... and yours are so beautiful... I save all of mine as well, and also my sister and I shared all of the letters my daddy wrote home from WWII and the ones my mama wrote back to him... they each saved them all... my daddy even though he was off fighting a war, kept all my mama's letters and they came home with him... computers are nice, but I so long for the days when a handwritten letter was sent or received... I am so happy you have all of those... they warm your heart... and your soul... much love, xoxo Julie Marie Julie Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11351116606101921159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1934579070684149103.post-51803136354016110472013-01-27T06:54:03.871-06:002013-01-27T06:54:03.871-06:00I love looking at my treasure box as well.
