Love isn't always hugs and kisses..it is wonderful communication of the written word, the every day diary details that are, more than not, commonplace and simple... daily tasks done or undone, people seen or not seen, descriptions of trips and the places we live, the tidbit of gossip, the rich and simple statement of love without the frills of Valentine lace and velvet...the phrase "I'll write again next week, till then". The written postcard that could be counted on every week before telephones and faxes and texting was invented. And, you know what, the communication was richer and kept for the next generations to hold to their hearts and cherish.
