I suddenly miss receiving written letters.

Thoughtful words written with so much sincerity and sent with great effort.

Some old age traditions now feel like an expensive gift, too expensive that people don't even talk about them anymore.

I miss letters, too. My wife and I wrote a letter to each other every day when we were dating in college, and we still have a few of them. When we moved 800 miles from our families, I exchanged weekly letters with my father, and I still treasure some of those handwritten letters from him. I still write notes to people, using a real fountain pen, so I haven't totally given up.

Well, now that you mention it... Dad is the only one I send letters to. Christmas Birthday, fathers day that kind of thing. Along with a gift and this Fugly Koala plate. I don't know where dad got it from, He is the sort that doesn't like chucking things out if he thinks someone else could use it. I didn't so I sent it back to him. Then him to me. 4 times a year this thing has travelled by post. And we've been doing this since 2006. 🤦‍♂😅
