The Best And The Rest 51

In this day and age where everyone is just a text or call away, fewer and fewer people write letters the old-fashioned way.  And part of the casualties is the lost art of writing notes.  Remember the days when you forgot to tell someone about something, so you stick a note on the ref to leave whatever instructions you may have forgotten?  Now it’s getting obsolete since you can just text everyone, even your yayas.
