With so many new ways to communicate the art of writing has been on the way out for some time. I think it's fascinating to read an old postcard, letter or just hand written notes by a loved one. Better yet a love letter in the midst of new love. I don't think reading text messages is going to have quite the same effect.
So a postcard from my grandfather to his wife and girls inspired this piece. He drove a greyhound bus for some 30 odd years and was on the road writing notes home to assure them of his safe arrival and such. Such a simple act done with love and now documented for my generation to look back on and get all sentimental about (and let me tell you I am really sentimental).
