I HAVE OVER 200 LETTER BELONGING TO MY PARENTS
JUST AFTER WAR
I HAVE HAD THEM OVER 35 YEARS
MY PARENTS ARE BOTH DEAD AND
I HAVE NEVER HAD TO COURAGE TO READ THEM
BUT THINK OF THE FAMILY HISTORY
THAT MAY BE WRITTEN IN THEM
THE SECRETS AND GOSSIP
SHOULD I TAKE A PEEK
OR LEAVE THEM ALONE
IN THE TATTY OLD BOX
YOU DECIDE

Take a look and enjoy them ....

If they were still alive I would say leave them

Oh Joy, if that was me, I couldnt bear NOT to read them! Apart from the family history side, you are so lucky to have them as a keepsake...BC XX

You must read them they must have been in love to write so many letters, If you cant face it is there someone who would read them for you to see if there are bad bits

oh i duno you might find somehting out you dont wana no ..............

wwhy dont you let me read them first then if there is anything bad i wont tell you

"whispers dont worry gr'ers ill let you lot no tho lol

Read them Joy not only may they contain family history info and an insight to the time they may give you some happiness being able to see your parents words to each other.

I know it did me when I read my parents letters and cards xx

I couldn't NOT read them. You are so lucky and whether there are some things that might make you uncomfortable you are so lucky to have the opportunity to share their feelings.

WHAT IF THEY TURNED OUT

TO BE RUDE OR SUMMIT

ID DIE MY MUM WAS SUCH A PRUDE

A RIGHT BORING CHURCH GOER

I MIGHT BE SCARED FOR LIFE

I would be inclined to read them.

But

My next door neighbour has a very special letter between herself and her husband which she does not want any of the family to read. I did say to her many years ago that if she wanted to bequeath it to me in a sealed brown envelope I would burn it after she has gone without opening it. Although said to her was intrigued. We both laughed.

I envy you that delemma Joy. Why not open just 1 to see what it says and if you feel uncomfortable reading it then either pass them over to Stray or destroy them.

Ok do as Stray says and let her read em first that way me and her can have a laff and wind ya up lol

I would have to read them think of the family history there will be in them,i hope you do decide to read them and enjoy what has been written
