- Writing 101: Be Brief– Day 5
You discover a letter on a path that affects you deeply. Today, write about this encounter. And your twist? Be as succinct as possible.
I’ve been cleaning my closet and putting away winter clothes, shoes, and a few purses. I was checking the purses and found an envelope.
I can’t remember exactly the day I got it; then again, I know who gave it to me. The envelope has a red sticker in the shape of a heart. I can’t believe I completely forgot this letter.
I opened it. The letter has a drawing of a heart painted with crayons. My initial the letter M was written in the middle of the heart. Then my granddaughter who was 8 at that time wrote me this letter.
Dear grandma (here she draws a small heart)
I love you grandma (another heart). You are in my heart forever (another heart).
Love, Jo (a heart with our initials M & J)
She gave me this letter before moving to Florida. After I read this letter it brought me to tears. After a year living in Florida, my daughter decides to move back home. Jo was excited to be back with grandma.
One day, I will show her this letter, meanwhile I’ll treasure it.
I’m blessed to have the love of my grandkids and thankful that they moved back home.

Your posts are very sweet and I think I get a good feel for who you are, which is great. My only recommendation would be to work on your grammar a little bit so that your verb tense is consistent. Keep it up!
