It was a "dear john/jane" letter from my boyfriend breaking up with me. Through mutual friends of ours, I met my wonderful husband two years later.

It was a sympathy card shaped to look like the sun, for the loss of my partner. When I opened the envelope and pulled out the card (replete with a magic poem), out came a handful of little gold foil hearts. Each was to represent their love and rays of sunshine, to take away some of the darkness that I was feeling from his loss. It warmed my heart and still does to this very day!

He wrote me a letter after my Mom passed away. The letter brought comfort at a time when I really needed it. It touched my heart and eased my pain. The words were just what I needed to hear and helped me to carry on when life seemed overwhelming. The best piece of mail I ever received was from my high school Key Club teacher/sponsor.

She made it herself. It had purple velvet as part of the image, just gorgeous. She is a very talented, creative spirit and I love that she made a special effort just for me.

Before I had my children, I used work as a travel agent and travelled the world. Once I had my children I decided to concentrate on a career that kept me closer to home (freelance writer). So, I gave up my glamourous, jet setting lifestyle and was left with my memories. Imagine my delight when I received a package from my girlfriend with a stack of all of the postcards I had ever sent her from my years of travel! It was like a beautiful travelogue of my journeys from another life. I have since returned the gift of 'returning correspondence' to a few friends. They were excited to receive such a gift and cherished their words describing another time for them. The best piece of mail I ever received was from my best friend.
