Thank you for starting this thread. I’ve enjoyed reading the posts a lot.
I have only one letter my Grandpa. It was the only time he ever wrote to me. He wanted to tell me how proud he was of my college education, especially since he only finished grade school. I was preparing to graduate and I was the first in my family (on both sides) to get a college degree. Grandpa had a massive heart attack as he was walking back to the house after putting the letter in his mailbox at the end of his driveway. I received his letter in the mail on the day he died. I had his unopened letter In my hands when my Dad called to tell me Grandpa died. I am still very grateful, yet sad, every time I even think about it.
Please keep your journals.
