Treasure

Sam brought the mail in and put it on the dryer.  It was a while before I noticed it there.  As I flipped through the pile, I saw handwriting.  A letter!  Addressed to me from a dear friend.  We lived together for several years after I graduated from JMU.
I got myself settled, ready to read.  And it was a good letter.  Those don't come too often.
But what was tucked inside- another letter, one I must have left behind, maybe 15 years old.  A letter from my Grandma.
She is still living and for that I am so thankful but this letter is like a treasure from a time long gone.  One I did not know I was missing.  And I tell you, I feel like a rich woman having it in my hands.

What a thoughtful friend. Settling down to read it ... Never quite like that with an email!
