By Sandy Hall
After living in the same house for over forty years my grandmother has come to live with us, which is great, because I really like her. Last week we moved all her stuff, and it was crazy! I don’t think she’s thrown anything out for ... well, for forty years.
Down in the basement we found six boxes of letters, and grandma and I have read through them together. One box is just letters that she and her parents sent to each other when she was in college. There must be hundreds of them. She used to write every week telling them about the bad cafeteria food and about how her roommate talked in her sleep. And they wrote back telling her about her little brother and their dog. A lot of things like that. But they also wrote to tell her how proud they were of her, because she was the first person in their family to go to college. And she wrote to say she was homesick, but she knew college was changing her life. And she was right, because she eventually became a doctor!
Reading those letters made me think it’s too bad that we don’t write letters anymore. My sister’s in college now, and she sends e-mails almost daily, and we send e-mails back. But it’s just not the same, is it?
