My Baby she wrote me a letter.

Post by IMADreamer »

I'm trying to get the estate all wrapped up so I went to her safe deposite box at the bank. I found a hand written letter to me.


I feel sorry for you guys. I found the best girl in the world. You guys just get a pick from the rest of em. :D

If I can offer one piece of advice for everyone. Write a hand written letter to your loved ones. Put is some where safe that they will find when you are gone. It is the most amazing thing you can do for someone.

I don't know why unselfish, loving people die young but what does that say about the rest of us?

I've been thinking that I'd like to do that for my daughter.

I could do that for my wife, but she'd probably start cleaning stuff and accidentally throw it out.

Could I type something up and print it out? My hand cramps up after about a sentence or so.

That really was a great thing for her to do.

I don't think I could read that without a lot of crying. Way too much.

If you can believe it, this is something my wife insisted we do. She wrote her's a month or two back & I actually just wrote mine yesterday (it was kind of strange writing a letter in the event I die unexpectedly & that's what kept me from writing it), and it was a relief to get those types of feelings down on paper.

My Dad died suddenly when I was a kid and we treasure a letter he wrote not long before he died. It wasn't written for an archival remembrance purpose, but might as well have been. In it you can sense him and his feelings about us. He wrote a brief description of each of his 8 kids. He really nailed our individual personalities. It's incredible how well he knew each of us -even though we were young. It is nice for all of us to have, but mostly for my younger brothers and sisters because they struggle to remember him.
