this is so true, "older" parents hate e-mail, or text & if they don't know how to do it-- the "old fashion" way by the pen to paper/card in hand is much better. My grandmother & mother loved getting notes, cards, in the mail. both have passed away now so there is no one to write to anymore.

Having been deployed twice I can't even begin to tell you how important mail call was. Getting that handwritten letter from someone back home meant so much. I would carry the letter around for awhile just so I could pull it out to read and have my connection with my family and friends back home - it would bring me a piece of home.

Last year I had the chance to see an excerpt of items from Cooperstown (Baseball Hall of Fame). Behind one of the thickest security panels was a letter from a senator, to Jackie Robinson, answering Mr. Robinson's questions about the senator's position on Civil Rights. It was a moving letter filled with compassion, and apparently written from the heart. I felt fortunate to have been given a glimpse into the history of both these gentlemen.
The senator? John F. Kennedy.

I like to send cards with a personal message. l love seeing the mail and there sticking in with everything is a hand-addressed envelope. Quess which I open first? I rarely open e-cards because I fee a virus. Also, I just don't care about bouncy little figures running across the screen. Delete.

My mother is over 80 yrs old and still writes letters to her friends and family. She has maintained ties via letter for over 60 years with fellow POW survivors of Siberia.
I even get letters from her and I'm in Afghanistan.
Yes -- its true that a handwritten letter conveys the tremendous impact of personal attention.

How good it is to see an article praising the use of handwritten letters. More and more people are turning to the old method of communication, particularly now that the new email has sadly been somewhat devalued.
Some businesses also seem to appreciate the personal touch, attaching a handwritten letter to professionally printed correspondence thus enhancing its message.
People always appreciate the effort, care and attention that goes with handwritten letters. There are many examples on our website www.handwrittenletters.com of people’s positive emotions when writing, sending and particularly receiving handwritten letters.

In the year 2009 something special happened to me. Hundreds of business and private contacts have been very busy to send and receive all today's popular forms of electronic communications. The month of December was very busy. Suddenly the noise stopped. And around christmas one special event was standing out of all communications I have had in the whole year of 2009. An event that I did not expect. I received 1 (in words "one") written letter from a friend.
