<p>I love them!! Even though we don’t hear from some of these friends during the year, we still care about them and are very interested in their lives. I was heartbroken to hear in a Christmas letter I received today that one of our old friends had colon cancer this year. How he and his young family must have struggled and we didn’t even know it! It made me realize I’ve got to take more initiative in getting in touch with old friends during the year. I hope everyone of our friends send us one!</p>
<p>I even like getting the ones from folks we see all the time - sometimes it gives us insight into things we didn’t know about our friends, or accomplishments we’re glad to hear about, but haven’t, or just lets us share their joy!</p>
