There were a few letters in there from me, to my mom, when I was in college. I brought them over to her, she is in hospice, too and I read them to her and we laughed. Great memories...text is just not the same! :)Kim https://www.blogger.com/profile/15445291034631735026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8749963622029128336.post-89075244399379764632015-11-16T08:55:42.218-06:002015-11-16T08:55:42.218-06:00I love to read and write letters but I am guilty a...I love to read and write letters but I am guilty as others and will more likely send an email or a text if that is how you communicate.
