Thanks for that. I recently came across a trove of letters and cards from my mom who died two years ago at the age of 81 from Alzheimers and vascular dementia. It was seeing her handwriting that was the gift for me. She was an elementary school teacher before my sister and I were born and later in life she developed a beautiful print/cursive combo that was unique and delightful. Her reports of weather and observations about local craft fairs etc. were the best part of those letters. That and some advice here and there that is as good now as it was then. Things like "Work hard, Beck. Enjoy the sunshine. And keep your chin up."
