I read those about childhood and schooltime quite often, those about the 18 years we raised our son too, but very, very seldom those inbetween. (At the moment those are in a special room on the attic in Hildesheim). <br />I agree: life would be dull if we were all the same - variety is so inspiring!

We are all so different--I love your style, yet I have none and am perfectly happy with it.

I would keep them for reading the letters on a special day when you are in the mood - I always think that it is good to remember how one felt at a certain age - makes it easier to understand how the 'children' are now. <br />The parents of husband had a very intensive exchange of letters during the World War II - husband was born whithout seeing his father, who was killed by a tragic mistake of identity in war. The letters will come out as a book in autumn, I think, because the parents were as Catholics against Hitler, and their letters depict a world of decent people that existed in Germany too at those hard times.

I think when son is 50 he can decide. I know how much I regret that my great-grandmother decided to take her diaries with her into her grave (it were only a few) - I would have loved to read them!

I was not up to a stroll down memory lane, but think I may need to peruse these little love notes before my children come across them after-the-fact! Not sure I want to be reminded of the young, starry eyed 18 year old that I was, but then I might be surprised. Maybe easier to just clean out a closet and leave these undisturbed!<br />Susan ~ Southern Fascinationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142703709659442785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-14020151780824650092014-04-30T04:26:27.887+01:002014-04-30T04:26:27.887+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Susan ~ Southern Fascinationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142703709659442785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594057670762283940.post-12456412031961649362014-04-30T03:53:21.685+01:002014-04-30T03:53:21.685+01:00Oh dear, what to do.
