In a time when so much emphasis is being placed on editing down our spaces of “joyless” and less frequently used items, I am resolute when it comes to saving letters and cards that beautifully capture a moment in time. I will forever treasure the large-print “Mom” on cards from our children, their words of appreciation expressed in letters they wrote as they got
older, and the moving words a daughter-in-law wrote as she expressed how she felt about our son and their impending marriage. In a world when too much is transitory and quickly changing, holding tight to remnants of one’s tangible history is so valuable. Grace Berbig also appreciates the value of handwritten cards. Read about Letters of Love, which the Long Lake resident created as an homage to her late mother, who was prolific in penning loving notes to her family. This Valentine’s Day, consider writing (with a pen, rather than a keyboard!) a note to a
loved one or friend.
