The Power of the Written Word

Correspondences have ended wars, saved lives, made hearts swoon, and connected people continents apart. The power of the written word is forceful – even in today’s digital world. This story from the Daily Mail UK is proof of that. A woman re-discovers “more than 100 letters sent from a lovestruck teenager to his sweetheart” thirty years after ending their relationship (Daily Mail UK). It’s a wonderful read about the beautiful, and lasting, effect that personal correspondence can create.
