Deep dives
Staying Connected Through Physical Communication
When you're away from your kids, it's important to stay connected in a meaningful way. While FaceTime and text messages are valuable, sending a postcard or letter can have a significant impact. By writing about your whereabouts, thoughts, and how much you miss them, you provide a glimpse into your life while creating a tangible record. In the future, these postcards will serve as a reminder of the connection you had, showing how much you cared. Despite the convenience of modern communication, taking the time to send physical postcards is a meaningful gesture.
The Lasting Impact of Sending Postcards
Regardless of your children's age, sending postcards during your travels can make a lasting impact. Unlike phone calls, postcards have an enduring quality that can be cherished for years. Whether discovered in photo albums or hidden away in a box, these postcards will serve as a reminder of the connection that couldn't be erased by time zones or distance. Putting in the effort to write a few words, stick on a stamp, and find a mailbox, even when easier forms of communication exist, shows your dedication. Make it a tradition to send postcards on every trip, ensuring your children know they are always on your mind.
