I can really identify with the anticipation of each friend as they waited for the next letter. Because of an unforeseen illness, I was forced to retire from a very fulfilling job that I had loved for years. One of the highlights of my day was the mornings when the other workers there would smile and say "goodmorning" and at the end of that work day we would all talk about the day and say "see you tomorrow". The words from a friend is so valuable. That is really more evident to me now as I find myself checking my e-mail 3, 4, and 5 times a day in hopes of hearing from a friend. I loved this story on so many levels but mainly because I could identify with the warm feeling that those friends must have felt. I just read this amazing story for the third morning.

Technology has in some ways made it easier to keep in touch, but harder to develop meaningful relationships.
