Today's mail included a larger than normal envelope with a big plastic
window through which I could see a legal sized envelope addressed to me with a
familiar return address on it.
I flipped it over to read
the back and for some reason that was not specified or even apparent on the
original letter, the USPS felt obliged to offer me their apologies.
The envelope had been opened--and was sealed with packing
tape, not something that the sender would have probably done, but the contents
of the letter was intact and without damage (as was the envelope short of
having been opened) Odd. But glad the USPS is so conscientious to bring me this
very precious piece of mail. The letter inside was from a friend just recently diagnosed with dementia. She has begun writing to those she loves and telling them how much and why she loves us before we fade from her memory. More precious than gold.
