i enjoyed your article on writing a gratitude letter.
i graduated college in April 1987. In May 1987 I hand wrote a letter to me parents thanking them for everything they have done for me and supporting me (financially and emotionally) while I was in college and growing up.
i forgot all about the letter until about ten years ago when my mother returned the letter to me with even the envelope i mailed it in.
i got the letter and envelope laminated and they are two of my most prized possessions:
i even ask my brother and sister to see copies of the thank letters they wrote to our parents.
This is a much belated reply to say thank you much for the kind words about my writing - and for sharing the great story! I love that you wrote such a letter, and I'm not surprised that your mother saved it (which is a perfect example of how such letters mean more than we anticipate they will to the recipient)!
