Hi Alison. This was such a beautiful article and though we have lived different lives, I feel like it brought back similar nostalgia that you may have felt. My eyes got a little watery when I saw the letters you sent to your grandad. It's different, but it reminded me of the Otoshidama bukuro my grandparents gave me every year when I was a kid, and I've kept every single one of them. I dont know if its the hand-written words or the stamps, but your article reminded me the wonderful feeling of receiving a letter, and made me think I should take time to write some soon. Thank you so much Alison. Loved it so much.
Hi Rina, I’m so touched by your comments; they mean a lot to me. I feel nervous about publishing but when I see other writers - like you! - sharing wonderful experiences, I feel I want to join the conversation. Thank you again for your words, and I look forward to reading more of your own posts :)
