Imagine the loss and loneliness. The ones left behind going about their day not truly understanding how much their connection means to the one gone. This was such a heart felt post. Thank you for sharing!

Back then, when one would handwrite a letter, imagine how long it would take to get to its recipient -- and then to receive a reply back. So much could happen in between those times. Now we can be in touch in an instant and yet, so often, everyone is wrapped up in their lives that they forget to reach out to others. It's a very strange time, I think -- when we should be more connected, but often are not. I do hope the art of writing by hand will not die out completely. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Heirtage pages are so special for passing on to future generations the stories of the past. We are all too busy when we are young to understand how important these stories are, it is only when we are older do we truly understand just how pricelessLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602479264490694291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126297807687367644.post-1292222049121517952012-05-25T21:31:40.057-07:002012-05-25T21:31:40.057-07:00What a beautifuly written letter.

And I can't imagine (but have thought of it often) how those pioneers were able to leave to a new land, perhaps never to see each other again. such strength<br />Even though we DO have the emails, texts, phones etc....I still think it is important to Hand Write things and mail them off.

It make you wonder just how many families fell out of touch when the said their good byes and began their journey to a new life. It makes you realize how easy we all have it these days with the invention of the telephone and now computers. Letter writing is an Art Form in itself and fast becoming a fading memory. I fall guilty of this. I think our Mothers were from the generation that still Wrote Letters and Cards. I still have many that my mother sent to me. The future generations will not have these treasures. So sorry for rambling! <br />Your Piece is absolutely Lovely and a Wonderful Tribute to this Beautiful Art Form!Thank You for Sharing!<br />Have a Wonderful Day my Friend!
