The Story

When Gram passed, the light at our family dinner table was gone. She made me feel like I could be something, do something, but without her, I felt alone.

That was until I went to my mailbox last night. The postman dropped it off just at dusk. A mysterious letter from Gram.

Now, I want to deliver the same surprise to your mailbox.

Open your mailbox. Open your heart. Your letters from Gram are waiting.

Why Letters From Gram Arrive By Mail

In today's world of instant messages and emails, you might wonder why Gram sends her wisdom through physical letters. The answer is simple: Gram doesn't own a computer and has never used the internet.

"All those gadgets and gizmos," she often says with a warm chuckle, "they're just not for me."

For Gram, there's something irreplaceable about putting pen to paper. She believes that handwritten thoughts carry more weight and meaning than words typed on a screen. Each letter she sends is a labor of love—carefully considered, thoughtfully composed, and sent with intention.

Gram treasures the tangible connection that comes from knowing someone will hold in their hands something she has touched. She appreciates the anticipation of waiting for correspondence and the joy of discovering an envelope addressed to her among the bills and advertisements.

"When something arrives in your mailbox," Gram says, "it means someone thought of you long before today. They took time. They made an effort. That's becoming rare in our hurry-up world."

In honoring Gram's preference for this traditional form of communication, Letters From Gram preserves a nearly forgotten art—the meaningful exchange that happens when we slow down, reflect, and connect through carefully chosen words and small treasures shared through the mail.

After all, as Gram would say, "Some of life's best moments happen when we step away from screens and remember the simple joys of paper and ink."
