The Emotional Power of the Written Word…
2nd January 2025
I just read a very moving, powerful and uplifting letter by Aude Fitzsimons on Twitter. She lost her husband after 62 years and four months. She found and re-read hundreds of letters they’d exchanged whilst they were engaged. In doing so, she reconnected and remembered her husband when he was young, and she fell in love with him all over again. So beautiful.
Yes, the pen and now the keyboard are extremely powerful. Letters and messages connect us and can bring us closer together. We can also express ourselves more freely in writing. That connection and love stays with us, no matter how much time passes.
Apart from our final conversation, I can’t read our messages at the moment, but they’re kept safe so that they’ll always be with me. I’ll always treasure them, along with you, in my heart where they belong {} xxxx
