An Endearing Piece of History


Our Toronto Star newspaper featured this article about a little blue suitcase discovered in the basement of a house this grandson was clearing out.  His grandfather has passed away at 98 and the 99 year old grandma is in a convalescent home at the moment having recently broken her hip.  He decided to create a blog featuring all the precious love letters his grandparents wrote each other over a period of years during World War II.  I read a couple of them and it is an endearing piece of history.  Maybe you will enjoy reading them too.  Here is the link.

  11. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm....

    Let's step back a moment.... Consider if these, were _our_ old Love Letters....... Would we want them, to be published, on a blog?.....On the World Wide Net?.....For all and sundry, to read?

    Maybe Yes. Maybe No. But these 2 people, do not have any say, in this.

    And it just doesn't seem fair, to me.

    I know, I am not in agreement with the other Commenters.

    But....

    I think my view, is worth sharing... I hope you do too.
