Have you ever missed the time when we receive a letter from the post man?

Just read a pile of letters come from a friend in Singapore. The date was July, 2nd 1990. Wow, both of us is connecting to Whats App now but the feeling of missing has gone. Although, I always know that he is closer than he used to, but the message from Whats App is never the same with my old feeling when I have to wait for his letters.
So, folks, have you ever missed the same old traditional way in receiving letters?
Come and say your thoughts.

I used to have penpals and am always eagerly waiting for the mails to come. After opening the envelopes I collected the stamps and kept them in a stamp album. That was how I develop a hobby in stamp collection. I miss that now. Since technology has speed up communications getting mails from overseas has totally disappeared. I can only look at my stamp album now to remind me of the era I was in.

Maybe we are so lucky enough to have such a wonderful era. When even technology cannot buy or replace the stamp collection who has much beautiful design. Technology creates digital stamps with beautiful digital pictures but they will not create a digital philatelist generation.

I'm almost 70, so I remember the days when letters were a common means of communication. When I was a teenager, I even had penpals. I do miss receiving them, but I have to tell you I'm afraid I've become too lazy to write them. I'm not even sure my handwriting can be read anymore. I can barely write a check.

Thank you for following Sue. I also had many penpals around the world and only one from Singapore that still keeps writing with Whats App. I also do not know how terrible my handwriting in this era. But I always missed the atmosphere of waiting for the postman to came and the moment you open the envelope. Last but not least, the rich culture of the stamps. It was the happiest moment of my life.

Waiting for the letter,
looking out on the road from the first floor sometimes from the terrace for a glimpse of the postman,
finally, when you see him approaching your house, he appears like an angel,
a surge of entry rushes within you and you bolt into the corridor shouting at anybody, get aside it's my letter,
you get the letter from with panting, excitement and bulging eyes,
the feel of the envelope in the hands is very personalised because somebody close to you took the effort to write something for YOU AND ONLY YOU.
You name handwritten by somebody you care lights up his/her admiring eyes into your soul,
the glow on your face turns the heads of everybody around you as you carefully tear the envelope
and unfold the letter.
NOW reading to connect to that person,
far away from you and deep inside you,
thus reading moments become the SPECIAL MOMENTS.
