"This, I find, is one of the truly amazing things about letters. If you wrote about the minutiae of a normal day in an email, it would be utterly boring to read. Write it in a hand-written letter however, and it somehow comes alive, and is genuinely interesting. I think it’s all to do with the fact that when the recipient of your letter reads your actual handwriting, it’s almost like you’re in the room with them, telling them about your day."
"My Grandparents used to travel a lot, and they would always send postcards from any new place they would visit. As I got older, I started to send them postcards and letters in return. After they passed away I was helping to organise their things and I found piles of the letters and postcards I had sent them. They had kept everything. I could see my handwriting change, my writing style change, my life change, right before my eyes. It was really moving and very special that they had held onto them all."
