Through the powers of facebook and the internet, I'll bet you could.

We wrote a couple of letter to each other and then lost contact until we were 13 and wrote regularly after that, even visiting each other. We are still friends now :-) I used to have those first letters that she sent but unfortunately, I think I lost them during one of my moves along with a whole heap of letters from various penfriends I had through my younger years :-(dogmatixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17547449353527002994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-41594628678681135312013-02-04T15:04:59.722+00:002013-02-04T15:04:59.722+00:00What a sweet story :) I love that you still have ...What a sweet story :) I love that you still have that card xxRhonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392565321847505354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8328228070357271563.post-51626128363426356862013-02-04T14:39:57.114+00:002013-02-04T14:39:57.114+00:00I can see why this postcard is precious to you.
