Remember when.....

Remember when you used to get these notes in class, in the hallways, after school, on the bus, in the mail? Those were the good old days. I absolutely loved getting letters. I would practice all kinds of different ways to fold my letter. The best was when I liked someone and was able to fold it into a heart.

I remember when Thad Crews and I had a thing- to this day I am still not sure what it was. He was the first boy in high school to ever pay attention to me and I was super immature! Anyway, he ALWAYS passed me a note or had someone deliver it. To tell you the truth, they were probably some of the best notes I have ever received. So genuine and real- he never held back to let me know that he liked me. There were times that the letters even came with something special: a sticker, a little piece of candy, or a flower. He made me feel special. It was only for a short time, but those letter sure made me happy.

Don't get me wrong, I do love to text. It makes it easier to send a quick message and still be able to go about my business...but, being able to open up a letter, waiting in anticipation to read what it says is magical. I am not sure if kids still send notes in class or when passing the hallways. A part of me hopes it still happens.
