I value very much these proofs your courtship 12-14 years ago. From different countries you sent me 17 postcards.
Now all correspond via email, Skype or contact. We do not see and do not know the people handwriting’s. Do not make an effort to choose postcard or write a letter using the appropriate paper and put it into an envelope.
Finally to go to the post office and send of the letter.
I can read the lines by heart which describe you so and make me smile.
Even when you are absent I can take a picture where you will be present.
Because we have our home. And then there are my memories and my associations.
I can create a new story using your words and my images also making it
a part of our life as a combination of memory and what there exists currently.
