To: anyone who it might concern
From: []

-what about grandpa? he had pigeons. i remember the shed in sloptow.

-what about grandpa?

-the pigeons. did he ever use them? to post letters?

-ha ah ha. no, never. he just had them around. sometimes cooked something with them , never really sent letters. he never really learnt how to. it was a niche at a time.

-i thought that was a thing, that he wrote letters a lot and then sent them. with the pigeons.

- no, he never did. he wrote a lot. he liked writing them and if necessary he would send them through normal post, but he was too lazy to do that anyways, most of the time.

Subj:christmas carols for

plays tennis? grandpa's younger brother. loves singing. also makes a great cherry compot (or maybe that's his wife)

-what about the carols? he also wrote those

-who?

-grandpa

[ ]

-yes, he wanted us to sing every Christmas you know this. so he had to write his own texts, for Jan. that one time when we didn’t celebrate together. it was a really nice gift. don’t know why he didn’t use a printer. or at least that typewriter you got later. his job was to use that thing for decades, so don’t know why he chose handwriting

-he never gave it to Jan?

-i don’t think so. maybe he was scared it was too soft of him.

Subj:cherry liquor

-can i look at the letters? when I’m home.

-don’t really know where they are.

-maybe uncle maciej knows? he would know. he know stuff like that.

-he probably knows, you can ask him.

-you said he made the
1.5 kg wiśni niedrylowanych 500 ml spirytusu rektyfikowanego 95% 1000 ml wódki 40 lub 45% 400 g cukru
from his [grandpa’s] recipe. the one he wrote. then he probably has more.

-yes he has a lot of those.

-can i look at them?

-you can try, his handwriting wasn’t easy to read, worse than doctors.

-yours is also ugly

-i haven’t written anything in years

-that’s not true

-no

Subj:affirmations?

*i also write stuff down*

-me too

*but i make it nice with my handwriting, yours is so messy*

-yeah cos you’re still at school, you need to have it nice. i don’t

*i mean my own notes*

-you note?

*yes*

-dad does also

*ok*

-ok. i mean it though. i read it once. it was affirmations kind of. therapy talk.

*why would you read that*

-i didn’t want to. we share notes on my laptop.

*what did he say?*

-he said something along the lines of: i love my girls. i bawled for like an hour after.

*that’s so sad*

-no its not. its nice. I think.
