Date Your Letters

So, I'm going through all of the letters Chris and I have sent each other over the years. We saved a lot of them, which I'm so thankful for. It is so strange to think that writing those letters was so critical to communicating back in the day. Between summer camp (yes we've been together that long), trips abroad and the ridiculously high long distance chargers before cell phone days, we relied on these letters to keep our relationship going at times.

I've just started going through them and there is something that is really bothering me that I had to relay urgently, along with a strict order. If you ever write another letter, please please, put a date on the top. Chris was pretty good at putting a month and date, but not very good at adding the year. I was bad at it all. Granted, maybe at age 17 we didn't realize we'd be together this long, but I could kill our cute little letter writing selves right now. Sometimes I saved the envelop which has a postage date, but not often.

Were you good about this? What's wrong with me?
