I do feel like I would be more likely to write letters and send tons of photos, videos, and tons of other things to the email. I also plan on letting friends and family use it to send notes, birthday wishes, and more to the little one. <\/p>\n<p>I know there are a lot of folks here that I don&#8217;t personally know, so I won&#8217;t be openly sharing the email, but if you want it, by all means, ask!<\/p>\n<p>My first email:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Fletchling,<\/p>\n<p>I set up this email account to send you anything and everything that I\/ we want to give you one day.
