I too have had to whittle down to just a few boxes. I too stored boxes at a friend's when we moved abroad a few years ago. I suspect I have letters from you too. If nor, photos of them as one way of condensing years of stuff was to take photos of letters from my childhood. I could never part with my childhood journals. Even when some of them are filled with pages that say 'Dear Diary, nothing much happened today '. These things are for my girls. Even if I am not ready for them to read some of my journals yet. X
I have such fond memories of our letter-exchanging days! And yes, taking photos of things helps, too. That certainly helps my taxed memory out these days -- gives me a way to hold onto those precious thoughts!
