The love letter

The love letter is as old as language itself as evidenced by a letter written to Hitittie in Ancient Egypt. With the advent of texting and tweeting it is at threat of extinction. A love letter is a declaration of devotion. An expression of affection. It is an outpouring from one heart to another.

A love letter is something that exposes the writer to the recipient and allows insight into the depth and breadth of feeling the former has for the latter. It is an opportunity to deliver an uninterrupted display of affection for one's partner.

There is something special about receiving a letter (especially if hand written) that shows you how loved and admired you are by the one you share your life with.

Bring back the love letter!
