Today's Letters.


In today's fast pace society, the world is changing. As we are very much surrounded by and dependent on a various social media platforms as our form of communication, the tradition of writing and posting letters to friends and/or loved ones have seemed to die off. I do miss picking up my favorite pen and pour out everything I had to say on those fancy pieces of papers/letter writing pads especially those scented ones.

"There are many things that can change a life....a letter is one of them." - Tag line by Today's Letters


Now, this reminds me of a book - The Wednesday Letters by Jason F. Wright, I read some time back.

This book has a powerful message about redemption and forgiveness. It is a story of Jack and Laurel. Married 39 years, the Coopers lived a good life and appear to have had a near-perfect relationship. Then one night, with his wife cradled in his arms, and before Jack takes his last breath, he scribbles his final "Wednesday Letter."

When their three adult children arrive to arrange the funeral, they discover boxes and boxes full of love letters that their father wrote to their mother on every single Wednesday. As they begin to open and read the letters, the children uncover unimaginable adventures and the shocking truth about their past.

Inspired to begin writing my own letters to friends and loved ones, be it online or offline, here's 'Today's Letters' for a start...

Dear Shux, receiving a letter from you made my day a whole lot better. You are dearly missed even though it's less than a week since you flew back to Brisbane for your final semester. Study hard, play hard and I'll see you in August! Dear Audrey, Happy Birthday to you and may your day be filled with sunshine and smiles, laughter and love. Love you lovely! Dear Mr. L, it was nice of you to treat the girls dessert. You've surely brought more joy and laughter to the table last evening. Another reason why I heart Thee.

Yours truly,
Ashley.
