I have posted, personally delivered and faxed physical paper documents to various agencies and offices only to have them go missing. Did they really go missing or were they just ignored because they weren't in email format? Were they scanned to enter a computer database never to be found again and then thrown in the bin?

She was house-bound and then bed-bound and she loved to get mail. And I loved her.<br />I am writing letters and cheerful notecards now to a lovely almost 97 year-old woman in Iowa whose daughter found me with her "magic" phone. This lovely lady was my father's first girlfriend!<br />I still send notecards and clippings to my family and friends so they can hold my love and regard in their hands.<br />There is nothing like a letter.<br />USA Sister Cat Momkatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07293115156312151858noreply@blogger.com
