THE LOST ART OF LETTER-WRITING
In this TED talk a woman, whose father died ten years ago, talks about the legacy that people leave when they die and about the lost art of letter-witing.
Lakshmi Pratury tells us that when her father died he left to her handwriting letters and a note book with his thoutghts about her and suggestions for improvement. Since that day she has never recieved a letter and it has made her realise we are loosing them.
She says that the legacy has to be a kind of value, not economic, not things without any personal touch and that she has decided that when she dies she will leave her son a note book published with her father's thoughts and her owns.
To end up with her speech, she reads a note she took at her father's cremation. She regrets she hasn't spent enough time with her father and she says he should had been with him during the two years he was ill and that she would change everithing she has done since then only for a hug.
