I just did a letter to my I tell people he's adopted but he feels like one of my own. I did it on sandbox, he has joined the military army in fact. His two older brothers by marriage are Marines. Now, I come from by blood and marriage previous marriage, military family. My former brother-in-law was in the army for a very long time and I don't know if they had sandbox available when he was in the army was like 20 years ago but oh my goodness this is an amazing app. I can buy letters, talk to my phone for the letter upload a picture and he gets it in 2 days isn't that amazing. I look tired in my picture, because I'm not just an author I'm also hair stylist with a full-time job. 

I bring up the sandbox thing because as I was writing the letter aka talking into my phone I thought about my grandfather on my mother's side he was in world war II. And I could not imagine how hard it was to receive and send letters in that time. I personally love snail mail, sending and receiving a letter handwritten by the person that I love or care greatly about I think there's nothing more awesome, or personal. And I love the fact that in this day and age we have such awesome technologies to allow us to do this right here speaking into my phone which is how I'm doing this blog and sending it off. But here's my question do you think by using the technology we're losing some part of that connection? Yes it's faster Yes it's more convenient Yes I did it sitting in my car waiting to clock in at work, but it won't be in my handwriting and it won't have my energies in it so my real question is if you were in the military would you prefer handwritten or the sandbox method? I mean the right thing is with the sandbox method they get my letter convert it into words and deliver it like he will get a physical letter not a digital letter thank goodness but it's still not my handwriting do any of you have stories for using this app or is this completely new?
