Nothing stirs my heart with excitement like a handwritten letter. The romance and timelessness that it holds will always cause my pulse to speed just a bit. It draws to me now more than ever in this age of email, text, twitters and constant feeding of information. Just as I adore letters that my grandparents wrote, I feel that our children will desire that same intimate connection to us. This thought reminded me today that I need to take time to write to my family and my husband. As I want my life and relationships to be closely documented in picture as well as in the written word. I encourage you to slow your step and your breath. Take your paper and fine pens and write to those you love. Remember it is a legacy you leave in your words as well.

I am so with you. i love letters!!
So true. Garrett has been writing Graycen letters ever since she was born. She doesn’t even know it yet, but every year he writes her a letter about life…and other times as well. He wrote to me when we dated, got married, etc as well. I totally love this post because it is our foundation as a family as well. I have often thought to post his letters to her on the blog, to share about the thoughts of a dad and encourage everyone to write letters in this technology age.
thanks for this,
Joy
