But not one from my husband, he doesn't write. But I have all the letters I wrote to him. Silly things really, but I wonder, will he read them when I'm gone?<br />I used to write and send out 36 letters a month, then every two months, then every six months, then once a year. Why the change in time? Because no one wrote back, they all told me how much they loved receiving them, but no one wrote back. That's a very lonely thing.<br />Sorry, didn't know I was going to write a book. :)<br />Brilliant piece, thank you!Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-23442291115222416182013-05-27T22:30:49.201+01:002013-05-27T22:30:49.201+01:00Hi, Jab,

Losing someone you love so much must be devastating.<br /><br />Sadly, many of us will experience this ... but what treasured memories. As Charmaine had said, today we'd only have emails and perhaps a voice message or two.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-28108648393270563822013-05-27T18:15:09.034+01:002013-05-27T18:15:09.034+01:00That's a very touching, sad, romantic love sto...That's a very touching, sad, romantic love story that you've conveyed with letters.Scheherazadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906467791904395295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060029060849550094.post-44436856607744141592013-05-26T08:01:10.017+01:002013-05-26T08:01:10.017+01:00What a wonderful story to add to the stories for R...What a wonderful story to add to the stories for RFW this month. I love how you've incorporated letters. My first thought was letters from the war too. I like how you've given us the emotion, the setting, the thoughts as she muses about letters from the past.
