Is letter writing a dead skill? When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?
Just last week I wrote a letter to my dad as a part of his Father's Day Card.
I may only be 18, but I write letters all the time. I wrote several to my relatives last month thanking them for graduation gifts and what not. My friends and I also enjoy writing letters. I think because my dad's always worked for the postal service I've just grown up writing letters. There's nothing like the thrill of seeing your name hand written on an envelope in the mail. =] It's a small joy I hope never goes away.
In insist on keeping this alive. whenever there is a death, birthday, Christmas etc. I send an actual card in the mail, and I write a letter on the inside of the card-I use cards that are either blank inside or just have one or two words salutation for lots of space. Then I write a special message about me or the recipent(s). It's more personal. even if birthday cards or Christmas cards are sent as e-cards instead, sympathy cards should always be actual cards.

When was the last time you've actually hand-written a letter to someone and mailed it?No keyboard and no email! I wonder just how many folks do not do this anymore.. Especially for elderly family members that would just love to get a REAL letter or note.
