[quote=Anonymous]Kept it for awhile too. Had a long term, formative relationship that bridged high school and college. When I was about 28yo or so my parents moved, and I was required to deal with my accumulated "stuff". I was engaged, to my now DH and tried to imagine 20 years from now sitting going through the same letters again with out hypothetical children and it just felt too disrespectful of my DH. I got rid of them all (and there was a ton as we had been long distance for about a year and avid writers). In hind sight, I am sorry I decided to get rid of them all. Not least because, that long ago BF committed suicide a few years later. (Totally unrelated to me.) But I feel like with his death, I lost the person who knew me best at that one moment in time in my life. I also continue to agree with my reasoning for tossing all the letters. There had been talk of his mother giving me the saved letters that I had sent him, but it was too painful for me at the time, and we were not at all in touch at that point. So it wasn't something I pursued. [/quote]
