I've got Hoarder instincts, so it was with difficulty, in 2013, I shredded almost all of the letters of a childhood friend who died in 2009. He had a monomaniacal focus on Darwin and Evolution, and urged Creationist Jesus upon me, sometimes with two or three letters a week, for years. The pile of accumulated letters was huge. My agnostic soul meant that much to him.
Today, I received a note from a long lost love of his, who hadn't had contact with him for nearly 40 years, wondering if I had any information about him. And all I have now are fugitive fragments that escaped The Great Purge.
The moral is, never throw anything away again, ever, not even convenience store receipts.
