Nice story

That's a lovely story. I admire the guy's resolve to continue writing letters for so long! I would have become self-conscious and assumed that if the reply was via telephone or text message, that it was the preferred mode of communication.

Such a cute story. (To be honest, I was half expecting him to end up marrying Renée. )

To all not-so-young pen friends with whom I'm corresponding... Y'all better live 'till I'm in my 90s so we can say we lived the same wonderful experience as this article's protagonists! è-é
