This morning while I was making morning nutmeg, I found a letter and card in the drawer that my friend once gave me.
We used to exchange cards for each other as pen pals and would put a joke or a small drawing at the bottom that only the two of us understood, it was really fun and sometimes I miss those days. They would always write theirs with the same pencil I would lend them, becasuse they lost theirs so often and even to this day xD
I wonder if they still have my letters?
During a winter a few years ago when there was a snowman on every garden, me and my sis built the biggest snowman around, she gave him a baseball cap and I put a big red and green scarf around him and a carrot nose (I had a few bites of the carrot, sorry mr snowman!) Anyways, my sis took a picture of me next to the snowman and we sent it to them in the letter that winter, they called me and were sad I didn't build it with them, but it was only cause I wanted to see who could build a cooler snowman! But they didn't build one that year (their snowmans were usually so impressive, and I felt like they carried me in building one if my sis didn't help out...)
I wanted to give them a gift to make them smile this time, so I drew a really bright red heart all for them and included it in the card. They loved my ice puns when they opened it on call yet they seemed a bit more silent upon seeing my drawing. Maybe they thought I just copied the pillows we have at home, which are similar.
Sometimes I wonder how they really felt when they saw it, did they feel the same way I did making it?
