Friends and Family
Friends and family are both important. I know people in my family who only keep up with their friends. I know people in my family who only keep up with a few family members. it’s important to keep all of our relationships growing, but it seems so much harder with the internet.
I went to watch my incredibly talented daughter, S, perform with her freshman class last weekend. At one point I took her to check her mailbox and I realized i’d not sent her a single letter. I’d sent a few boxes, but not a letter just to write.
However, I text her almost daily, and email her and follow her on FB
She misses getting mail, like anyone. It’s nice to know you’ve been remembered and get a written word from someone you care for.
I’m making a commitment now to write letters tomorrow to her and my great aunt who lives alone.
Keeping the work going.
