I have been the wife of a soldier before the internet and now with it. The snail mail was slow then, but I was always happy getting them and rereading them. My husband and I still write this time, but via e-mail now. Skype is amazing and lets me see that he really is ok. However, I still love the letters that he sends me and him the ones I send him. These are the ones we can take along with us and reread. Feeling something that he has touched and put time into is still amazing!Coggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09554031876141388500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-81094709487847787282011-03-23T12:03:20.706-04:002011-03-23T12:03:20.706-04:00I just admired your snow pics on fb.
