My mother is still with me and I have many recipes written in her hand. Whenever I pull out the old lasagna recipe and see it in her handwriting, I'm transported to many years ago when she wrote it. They are precious to me now and will be more so when she's gone.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1153','PinkLadybug'); return false;"><em>Reply to this Comment</em></a> </div> And then if you still have some of your mom’s letters… it’s like still having a little piece of her with you to share with others.

I remember "writing" letters to my mom before she had a computer. She used to say that reading my letters was like reading a story. What a compliment from her to me. Yesterday my sister and I were talking. It was her birthday and she was telling me that her son gave her a beautiful mirror for her front hallway. Mom always told her that everyone should have a mirror at their front door. My sister made a comment that she should send a letter to heaven to let her know that she now has that mirror. I guess I choose to believe that mom is guiding her grandchildren!<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1152','Susie'); return false;"><em>Reply to this Comment</em></a> </div> This was beautifully written, Linda.

Kind of a reminder to myself to get busy and leave some stuff behind worth reading. I don't think you can get a laptop in a time capsule. Modern technology can't replace everything.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('1151','PinkLadybug'); return false;"><em>Reply to this Comment</em></a> </div> I love collecting stationary, but don’t write as much as I would like to.
