Tears On the Keyboard
Letters turned to messages
In years gone by, many people had boxes of letters written by loved ones that they had saved for years. I was one of those people – until I moved a million times (it seemed) and the boxes got lost or thrown away in the shuffle. Now, as I sit at my computer I’m going through my email inbox. Messages I thought I’d get back to, I never did (thankfully, they were mostly junk and not from people I knew). So many messages I’d forgotten where even sent – forwards I really enjoyed and thought I’d save for later. But then came those others – the emails that if they’d been “snail mail” would have been saved in a box for years to come – those which now seem to be a permanent part of my inbox. There were messages from friends sent when my daughter was born (she’s just four years old) – how I wish I could go back in time. There were messages from friends I thought would always be there – that I know haven’t heard from in years…yes, years. Then, there were the hardest of all – messages from one who is in Heaven now. Those were the toughest of all I think. The love, encouragement, and sometimes just a lot of “life.”--whatever it was those many messages contained, I so treasure them now as I know I’ll never read new words from her again. Even the messages that really weren’t important – I just can’t delete them.
Not a great blog, but words nonetheless
