For DVerse’s haibun Monday.
Several people gave me graduation gifts, such as special cards or generous checks. Over the weekend, I wrote some thank-you notes, put in the mail this morning. They are a memorial to kindness, and a way to pay it forward.
I like writing notes and letters, and who doesn’t appreciate receiving one? Letter-writing is a lost art, and I’d like to find it again, a memorial to times gone by, a tribute for a better future.

I like the idea of handwritten letters being a memorial. There’s a charm in them that’s missing today. I like that last line of your haiku, too. 😀

Wonderful haibun RW! Love the hand written communication. My penmanship has slipped in my older age, so mine are not beautiful – but the intention is genuine. Nice post… 🙂

There’s not enough kindness, be it verbal or written. We musts all practice kindness.
