Time for me to leave here.Going to sit and write myself a letter to my daughter in Georgia.Who is planning to come here in July. When was the last time you sat down and wrote a letter. I do this now and then and do not want to lose the touch of writing. It is more personal. Have a good evening.

It's rare that I write a "real" letter these days, but I did write a nice one to my son's teacher for all the great things she does - that was just before Christmas.

I haven't written a letter in a very long time. I do usually include a short note when I send out greeting cards though.

I used to write to my mother every week for years and years then later I'd email every week and someone would read it to her in the nursing home. I hope you have a lovely visit with your daughter when she visits.

I don't remember the last time. My hand writing is terrible, so I have never been much of a letter writer.

I agree, it is more personal and it also gives a person something to hang onto and enjoy in the future. I love going through my old letters from my mom, grandparents, my dad, and brothers and sister, aunts and uncles from long ago. Some of those letters are over 50 years old! The last time I wrote a letter was at Christmas and I wrote a couple pages to about 4 people I really love. They are far away and I rarely see them. Although we can chat online and Facebook and email, letters are so much better. I'm sure your daughter will love receiving your letter!

It has been a long time that I had written a letter offline. I just do it online. In fact, I used to collect snail mails before. Now, I haven't seen any in my mailbox and only bills to pay.

Writing is more personnel than an email that is for sure.

I write letters to my husband during some special occasions. I leave the letter on the table so he can find it in the morning during breakfast.

I wrote a five page letter to my brother in Alberta a few months ago. It was very personal. We've been a lot closer since then. :-)

Letter service has been reduced after the invention of e mail .Nowadays we used to contact relatives only by mobile phone.
