Dear Jing-Wei,
How have you been? I'm sure you've been busy with school and work. I just wanted to send you this necklace- I thought of you while I was running errands the other day. I came across this delicate bird pendant and it reminded me of our conversation at lunch last week (That was so much fun! Hope we can do it again sometime soon!). You said that your name meant "small bird" and this pretty thing just jumped out at me. If you don't like it, maybe you can just hold on to it if you need a reminder that, while you're busy and overwhelmed, someone is thinking about you.
Your friend,
Lana
To Carl-
Enclosed is that pen your grandfather used to write out his drafts with and ink some of his rough drawings. You obviously have his gift, even if you never met him. I wanted you to have it.

Dear Molly,
I was sorry to hear that you weren't well... that things have gotten out of control. I don't have any words of wisdom for you, but I have this book that I'd like to pass along to you. There are no answers in it, but I think the main character went through something similar to your situation. Just thought you might like to see that you're not alone.
Love,
Tina
Hey Steve!
Well, you said you ran out of golf balls. Here's a new case. Who else is going to terrorize the neighbors' cats?
-Tim
Happy Anniversary, Sam and Christine!
We were just going to send you this card and a gift certificate, but we saw this picture and thought of you. We thought you'd find it pretty funny after what you did to celebrate your fourth wedding anniversary! Two crazy people jumping out of a plane together- we love you, but we think you're totally insane!
Your friends,
Greg and Delores
Hey Dad,
I hope you're doing okay. I hope work is good. I just thought you might like this postcard. I was at the museum here at school and I recognized the photograph. O. Winston Link, right? Anyway, I know you already have the print, but, here's a copy just in case.
-Pete
Dear Julie,
You're the one who collects rocks, right? I was asked to chaperon for this evil preschool class on a field trip to a science museum. Anyway, they were showing the kids how to polish rocks and handing out some of the pretty ones. They gave me this purple one with white rings... I thought maybe you ought to have it.
From Nathan
Harry,
Hey! I'm down here with Lisa in Charleston hanging out in downtown. I saw this sign outside one of the bars that said: Harry's Tavern. Thought it was funny! Here's a picture! See you in a week, buddy!
-Chris
Ginny,
I saw this top and thought, 'Now that's so Ginny!' I know you like your blues and grays, but trust me - red is your color! Send me a picture if you like it. Tell your mother I said, 'Hi' and I'll see you around Christmas time! I hope you'll go caroling with me and your Uncle Ted again and we'll make some of that hot Christmas punch to stay warm!
Love and kisses,
Aunt Louise
Hey Sis,
I know. I'm a jerk-face brother. Sorry about that. I didn't forget your birthday. I've just been busy. As usual. Anyway, I know it's late, but this card had a bunch of different languages on it. Made me think of you since you speak about three of them. Well, I'll call you. Let me take you to lunch or something next week.
Your brother
Scottie!
Don't worry- it's not what you think! I just can't help it... when I see blue flowers, it reminds me of you when we played Jim and Laura in The Glass Menagerie. Can you believe it? That was nearly fourteen years ago! Thanks for being a good friend for so long.
Love, Jade
