Hello, Emma! What are you doing?

Oh, hi there, Ron! I’m just writing messages in these cards. Later, I’ll go

I know it’s pretty common sending messages through chat and e-mail, but it feels much special receiving handwritten cards and letters.

Totally! Personalized cards and letters are the best. I’m going to add
some photos too. My grandparents will surely love this.

Yes, they rarely ever use their gadgets. But they always send me cards
during special holidays and my birthday.
