I've always loved being around the elderly, in whatever capacity... as a servant, grandchild, or friend... because they have the best stories. I, too, had an elderly relative who used to hobble out to the post every day to see if someone had remembered her; really, i did intend to write more often...

I just lost an elderly aunt (in another country) and had intended to write frequently and didn't. I feel very badly over this. so I just learned a cousin has been diagnosed with lung cancer and wrote to him, a long letter. Making up for what I didn't do for my aunt. I love all your suggestions.

Yes, mail really is special, and no matter how many email or chat options we have, getting something at the door that someone took the time to write out by hand will never go out of style. Thank you for your nice comment. What a thoughtful resolution, Flimsy!
