How often does your child call home?

I didn’t call home much in college because it involved the pay phone and the lines to use it - stone ages, I know. However, I wrote my mom often and she wrote me often. She kept all of the letters that I wrote her and I have many that she wrote to me. What fun I had reading them 30 years later. I felt as though I was reading a stranger’s letters and had very little recollection of the things and feelings that I described. They make me miss letter writing. I know I could print out D’s emails, but it’s not the same. I do remember the feeling of getting out my stationery box and settling down with my study pillow to write. I remember choosing special stationery to use for friends and family. It always gave me a warm feeling and connection to home.
