When I was in my teens and twenties, I wrote letters and sent greeting cards like I was being paid to do it!!! I just really enjoyed communicating via the written word.
One of my dear friends from the '80s was sorting through her recently deceased mother's belongings and stumbled across a card I sent to her mom.
Reading that card affirms for me that even as a very young man, I was one helluva GENTLEMAN!!!
Mrs. Searcy, may your soul rest in eternal peace.
