My mum gave me a box this Christmas - she'd been working on it for 2 years. It is a 'memory box' in which she has put a letter like that one, baby photos of me, the little hospital tag that was wound my wrist after I was born, my first clothes, school reports, newspaper clippings of school prize days, a journal charting all her memories of my childhood... I will cherish it as long as I live! You're right - there's so much more value and meaning in old letters etc than in old emails... Grannymar, this made me cry!

I loved the story of the letter your friend kept for all those years.

“Remember. Your new friends are silver but your old friends are gold.”

It's a great idea to revive the postage stamp. The buzz felt on hearing the letter box clatter is infinately nicer than seeing '5 messages, 2 unread!' on your screen :) What a lovely post!!
