Just a Note

Today came the first "note" from Brandon at boot camp. How sweet are the four sentences he wrote to us. If you know Brandon he is always quick with the wit. His note says "boot camp is all it is cracked up to be". It is amazing how a few short words can warm a mom's heart. I am glad to know that he is safe. He asked that we send his bible which makes me feel such great joy and peace. In this day we take for granted the feeling of looking at handwriting and getting the feel of the sender. A mother knows the tilt of each letter and remembers the days and hours practicing those letters.

My heart is warmed by a personal note. I am glad that letters sent through the post office rather than email are so special.
