36、The first step in writing letters is to get over the guilt of not writing. You dont owe any body a letter. Letters are gifts.

Remember the last time you saw each other and how your friend looked and what you said and what perhaps was unsaid between you, and when your friends becomes real to you, start to write. Write the salutation-Dear You-and take deep breath and plunge in. A simple declarative sentence will
