Oh yes, Jeff, do write letters. Even if its just what is going on day to day. She remembers the letters, I promise you. Keep writing and always remember to say something nice. Even if you said you saw a beautiful sunrise and it reminded her of how much she like beautiful sunrises or... did you see this new quilting tool? I thought of you and almost picked it up.
I like asking her questions about the nursing. Try to find out what fulfills her, has she been instrumental in someone's care? How did she feel about the positive outcome the person had? What has been her most difficult experience while nursing, etc.
