People have been asking you how long is too long to wait to send a letter of condolence.
I lost my 25-year-old daughter almost 30 years ago.
This past April I received a five-page anonymous letter from a guy who went to school with her.
From his memories he obviously had a crush on her.
I cried the entire time I was reading the letter not because it made me sad but because even after all this time she is not forgotten and someone still thinks about her.
I have kept the letter and pull it out from time to time and re-read it.
Thank you to the person who sent the letter. So if you have a letter to send, no matter how long it's been, do it!
– Grateful Mom
Dear Mom: This is a beautiful testimony to the power of a letter to unleash memories and lift up a life.
This inspires me to suggest a great project for the new year – to write a letter telling the story of a person from your past who is gone but will never be forgotten, and send that letter to their next of kin.
