The Last Letter

Yesterday I wrote my last "Letter a day in May," I wrote this letter to my husband, Jake. I just want to document how great doing this was for me personally. At first I thought it was going to be awkward and people would think it was weird. One of the first responses I got from my grandma was that she asked my mom if I was dying. She didn't know why I was writing letters to everyone, but through writing these letters it gave me the opportunity to sit back and think of the people that have been with me through most of my life. It gave me the chance to reflect on each person individually and really think about the qualities in these people that I love the very most and I will forever be grateful for.

Through writing these letters my appreciation for those around me became even stronger. I wanted to write letters to everyone and let them know how great they are. The response that people gave me after reading their letters was more than I could ever ask for. I was writing these letters to let people know how much I loved them and they turned around and showed me how much they love me in return. Writing these letters made me want to be a better person not only for myself but for those around me that have given me so much. I want to live a life that helps those around me to become better people as well. This experience changed me more than I thought it would and I loved it. I think this may become a new tradition. I would recommend it to anyone out there, it's a great experience!
Go write a letter, you won't regret it!

Side note: I have been reading some books such as "The Last Lecture" and "Tuesdays with Morrie" that also might have affected my desire to write letters, just in case I do die, I want people to know I appreciate them.

P.S. I highly recommend both of the books mentioned previously.
