Day One Hundred and Ninety Three

Letter

My Mum recently found this lovely letter that was written by Trevor's Grandmother Patty. 
I actually have a lot of letters, notes, scribbles, lists and cards that I have kept over the years. Most would seem meaningless to others, but hold special significance for me. Some important ones include: the words to a song that was sung at my 21st that is handwritten by my Mum; an extensive list of things to pack for our annual trip to Wee Jasper that was written by my Dad (on a ripped off piece of cereal box no less); and of course, love letters from Trevor. Mum also recently found a shopping list written by my Grandmother, before which, I had never seen her handwriting. I think that handwritten letters are to be treasured and are such a unique expression from an individual. I know that my collection will be cherished in the years to come.

To inject a little inspiration into my blog this month, I have decided to play along with the challenge presented on Fat Mum Slims blog (www.fatmumslim.com.au) and for today the theme was Day 11: Letter
