News from far away.
PROMPT May 14th
What was the best/worst letter or email you ever received or wrote? Write about the situation surrounding that letter, and why it was so significant.
I’ve never been one for sending momentous news by email they seem so impersonal. Much of my first few years after leaving home and learning to cope in my adopted country was spent writing to my Mum in England. Phone calls cost £1 per minute then so they were saved for special times like Christmas. I missed everyone and was gasping for news from home. Every Thursday I would drop a letter into the postbox and each Friday I’d get one from Mum. For years this went on and so much news went back and forth. The letter with the worst news was that my Grandma had died and I knew then I’d never see her again. The letter I sent with the best news was that I’d given birth to undiagnosed twins! I expect that would have been my parent’s most surprising and happy letter they received from me. That was back in 1973.
