a letter to elise..

Does anyone write letters anymore? I mean, it's cool and all with the whole e-mail and msn and yahoo and you name it, but what about the very personal letters we used to send? Especially years ago. Personally i would love a nice letter with ones own handwriting and whatever else you decide to put in it, rather than a boring e-mail, no matter what it says. Letters are nice, you can keep them forever, they never go away. If you miss the person that sends you the letter you can keep it by your bed and read it at night and/or whenever you so desire, you KNOW that the person that sent it actually touched that piece of paper, put his/her heart in to it and is glad that you're reading it! Maybe it's just me being old-fashioned and actually care about such thing, perhaps some people prefer an e-mail rather than a letter, but i don't and never will. Of course they're only superawesome when you're far away from someone, (other than that they're just awesome). I've seen movies where men are in the military and get letters from their loved ones (girlfriends in particular) and they lay there at night, lonely, and read it and for some reason seeing that in movies always brings me to tears, haha, wow! I really must love letters.

what is your opinion on this?
