Gramma Evie: Dear Andy...I could have emailed you, but I thought you might enjoy getting some news the old-fashioned way. Gramma Evie: I'm enclosing some pictures of the beautiful scenery.

Even if you kept some of the e-mails you’ve received, they wouldn’t have the same emotional connection or contain some of the sender’s personality like a handwritten letter does.
