The Gift of A Handwritten Note<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Any personal communication from loved ones can be a blessing, but I consider a handwritten note a gift that keeps on giving long after it was written.<\/p>\n

Every person\u2019s handwriting is unique.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

And even though a lot of us don\u2019t like our handwriting, have you ever thought what our handwriting means to our loved ones?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not something I ever thought about till I lost my dad over twenty years ago. Whenever I come across something he wrote down, I stop and pause. I remember him. And remembering him touches my heart. So in some ways having something in my dad’s handwriting makes me feel a connection to him, even after all these years.<\/p>\n

\"handwrite

My character in my story keeps a journal, so I created one and wrote in it as if I’m her. I even changed the handwriting to fit her personality.<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you handwrite in a journal?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Write letters to people?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Write a personal message in the cards you give to people for their birthday?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Things have changed much over the years with email and texting. I feel like handwritten notes is a lost art with some people. My mother-in-law always writes a personal message in every card she sends. She also includes a trademark of sorts with an abbreviation LYMTYK in every card. My husband says she always did that even when he was a child.\u00a0Love you more than you know. <\/em>I’ve come to cherish her messages because her words come from her heart in her own writing.<\/p>\n

I was recently looking for a blank journal for my next prayer journal and came across several different journal books in a drawer. One of them was a book created for me at my first baby shower nineteen years ago\u2014\u201cAdvice to the new mom\u201d. I skimmed through and came upon the page my mom wrote and I was blown away.<\/p>\n

First, to see her handwriting. Personal, from her and something she physically touched.<\/p>\n

Second to read her advice. Personal, from her and something she wanted to pass on to me.<\/p>\n

My mom passed away this summer and so finding that was a little gift and a wonderful reminder for me to hold on to and cherish. My heart overflowed with gratitude to be holding on to this note from my mom. Kinda neat to see that I took my mom\u2019s advice too.<\/p>\n

\"advice

Here’s the advice my mom gave me.<\/p><\/div>\n

Do you hang onto the notes you receive?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every once in a while I remember to write my boys a note. They may not appreciate it enough to keep it. But I believe the words sink in and by receiving a personal note from me, I\u2019m sending them a little bit of love that I hope they will remember at times. In fact, I think I might go handwrite a note to each of them now.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to write a note or journal something in your own handwriting.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

We all need to leave a little love behind.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’d love to know if I’m the only one who loves handwritten notes. Mention in the comments section whether you keep any handwritten notes you receive or when a handwritten note has touched you in a special way.<\/em><\/p>\n
