Beginning to regret the disappearance of the salutation "Dear..." in communications.

Maybe if we used it more often, we'd realise people hold others dear more too?

And the world might be better for that.

@xylophilist I still use it. But I'm old. I was alive in the days when one had to rely on written letters to communicate with friends faraway.
@Axomamma Getting that way - state of denial, perhaps. Maybe what I mean is that the word should *mean* more. Finally, a use for mindfulness... :/
@xylophilist I don't know but when I use it, it makes me think more about what I'm saying and how I'm saying it. The communication is more than a slap-dash note.
