I’m 49 years old and I wrote my brother 2 weeks ago. He is homeless and doesn’t have a phone or computer, obviously. He picks mail up from my sister’s house. They both live in another state, 1300 miles away from me.
The last I sent one was about two months ago. The last I received one was about one month ago. My friend Amy and I handwrite letters to each other approximately monthly just for the fun of it, even though we also correspond online.
My mom sent me an angry ranty letter about a week ago. I’m 36 and she’s 55. These things happen from time to time, but despite all the family drama, it was still a several-page handwritten letter.
Friday: worked on writing, will send tomorrow
Received: Last Tuesday, it took until Friday for me to have free time.
This is a one off, but I have a pen pal (a gal I went to high school with) that I write to regularly (and she writes back!). I’m 23, she’s 22. The more recent letter was in response to a post card, I’m 23, he’s 18. .
i send and receive one weekly to/from my friend who lives in Atlanta. We decided in July that snail mail was the way to go, and we’ve stuck to it. I love it :)
i correspond every few months with a friend i know from 7th grade. i am 42. she is 43. she moved down south about 10 years ago. we can do email but we seem to like the handwritten thing. the last time i got letter from her was in the spring 08.
