Oh my goodness… one of my grandmothers would include in her holiday cards from a town 45 minutes away little notes. They didn’t begin with “Dear Alan” and didn’t conclude with “Love, Grandma.” They consisted of a few declarative sentences. “The weather has improved of late. Joe’s back has been troubling him again. We saw Sarah last Saturday at the market. Hope all is well your way.” They were AWESOME! Also… my boxes of old letters bring me a pang of nostalgia when I see envelopes addressed by a pen pal on the west coast with whom I briefly corresponded close to 50 years ago😊
That's amazing, I love that! Those few declarative sentences makes all the difference. Gives a small peek into someone's everyday life. I feel the same when I see old letters from pen pals, filled with their handwriting and things we used to care about that we've almost forgotten about now. It's the sweetest thing.

Thank you for reading, Alan!
