I’m a reader and a writer. I love receiving written words from others, particularly handwritten messages. I have kept every letter that has been given to me (save the notes that were bounced back and forth between friends because I was rarely the last one to receive them.) They aren’t organized, which is a shame. It’s on my imaginary to-do list, which seems to get longer and longer.
I have received apology letters before. It’s a step towards reconciliation, but I have rarely forgiven someone completely based on a piece of paper.
… to make a confession though: I have a letter I haven’t finished tucked away on a clipboard. When I started writing it, I dipped into a month-long depression. Then I found Fluther. Um. I haven’t revisted the letter since then. I might tack on an apology and deliver it to my friend sometime this week. Yeah, that sounds like a plan.
