Do you keep them ?

I have just spent a really funny couple of hours reading some from my teenage years (and some later ones but it was the teenage ones I enjoyed the most lol).One of the letters I thought was especially lovely at the time. It wasn't til I read it back earlier though that I realised the words had come from a song by Frank Sinatra and I fell for it !!! lolololol xx

Aw that is so sweet!!

I have many of the later letters, and a few of the really special early ones. I wish I had kept them all, but they needed a packing crate all their own every time we moved house, lol!

Oh, they were all from my husband, lol!

Love

Daff xxx

when I met my OH we was always writing cardsa dn love letters .....** sighs **

I've got a few from OH Hayley but he's more one for buying me nice bottles and wine and stuff these days lol.


Crates full Daff? wow. You lucky girl !!!
xx

yes i keep them

and all the cards

thats a lot of paper over the years

do wish I'd kept mine - Lawrence was one of the last ones in for National Service call up - we had just got engaged and he was posted to Singapore - we had t look on the map to see where it was exactly. I wrote every day and posted letters three times a week and he did too. There were so many letters and I burnt them when we got married cos I was sure my sister would get hold of them and they were extremely private and pewrsonal -I'd love to be reading them again now he's gone. Happy dasys indeed

Only those that was wrote in the sand,,,,,,,,,,,,,))


No but have my late MIL &FIL that they wrote to each other during the war when he was POW in Burma for 4 years,,they often took 3/.5 months to get there and only one page was allowed ,,you'de be suprised how much you can squeeze on a 4x5inch bit of paper,,,,,,and they were censored,,,,,,,,,,plus all the cards that MIL sent to him there,

Aw Ann what a shame !

I had mine in a metal box, with a key that went everywhere with me - I had a sister that would have loved to have had a look at them too. They are still in the same box to this day - I lost the key on our move three years ago but found it unexpectedly in an old handbag earlier! xx

porky threw all his old letters
and photos out

from his previous girlfriend

i retrived them and put them away

you cant change the past

so why try to hide it

its part of our history

i also have all the letters my mum wrote to my dad during the war

Yes I have mine all tucked away in memory boxes along with other paraphernalia!

Shame, cos I read in the paper recently that love-letters are almost a thing of the past now that youngsters text and use MSN and emails.

You can't put a text in a memory box can you?
