These days we generally correspond through brief text messages, a phone call or a hastily written email. While of course this is handy, there’s nothing like receiving a hand-written card or letter in the mail. A beautiful note takes time, consideration, and interest in the recipient, so it’s even better when this continues over a lifetime. They’re something to treasure and refer to in times of joy, loneliness, or when in need of advice and comfort.
We looked to some well-known pen pals — there aren’t too many in recent years! — to see how putting thoughts down on paper can shape lives. Many of these friendships lasted years, forging lifelong bonds, influencing careers, strengthening spiritual lives, and even ending in marriage!
