A Moving Experience - A Sentimental Journey - Part 2

As I wrote in the prior post, I am trying to make this move on an organized basis.  These means going through the boxes and sorting everything out.  For me this has been hard.  I save all my cards and letters from friends and family going back to high school, I start reading and remembering.  Then I find my parents year books, not to mention my own.  Then I find all the old Boy Scout stuff. 

It was nice to read the letters from my dad he wrote me while I was away one summer.  It reminded me of how much he loved me.  He has been dead 11 years now, but it was like having a little visit.  I do not remember my mom that well, she died when I was five, but to read her high school year book was a treat, and a few of the letters she wrote . . . .

I finally had to pull myself away and realize that there is not much to toss in those boxes.  I organized them a little better and off to storage they go.

I think the sad think is we do not write letters anymore like that.  E-mail and cheap phone calls.  On the other hand I frequently Blog on my kids and hopefully one day they will find those post and it will mean a lot to them.

If you need help with a move or the advise of a quality Realtor and Broker please give me a call.

It is good for us, I think, to reread such items.     You're right, letters have an impact that an email or a text message simply doesn't offer.    Dropping back in time does carry with it some regret/for times past not able to be recaptured, but it is also a pleasure to remember.

Gene, I think the blog will replace or at least augment the written letter. I, too, cherish letters that my parents wrote me. I'm glad you got to re-live great memories with your dad.

I've started 2 journals, one for each of my boys, which I write to them about their lives, every few months. Hope they enjoy these someday.
