You know the world is turning in the right direction when a couple of guys come up with a way to stay in touch with aging parents who can't handle email, but can still open a letter.
Why I know about them is because another evolved male friend (Mark) flagged their service to me. Mark had another killer idea on how the flat rate could be used, what if a school adopted grandparents and used the writing exercises to teach writing and caring at the same time?
The service is called
Sunnygram, for a flat fee of $9.99 a month, your parent/grandparent can have unlimited emails sent to him/her of which will be printed, packaged and mailed once a week. What a fabulous way for far away family members to keep in touch. What a great fun pack to have arrive once a week that will allow parents/grandparents to read letters over and over and see pictures that go with them.
I can send an email without thinking twice, but to find time to write a letter, add notes and pictures and then address and send... sometimes the smallest hold ups keep the good intentions from happening.
