How do you start writing a letter?

[SnowLeopard21]

Let me say first I don't want to blame anyone, this is not what this is about. But how do you accurately summarize your feelings into a final note you leave at departure? Every time I'm inspired to do so I clam up and lose what I was about to write out. It feels like this is one of the few things stopping me from ultimately CTB'ing since I need closure too.

Dear Mom…

Jk. But why not type something up and edit it until it makes sense to you? Can take however long you want.

Keep a notebook or notes app near you and write out how you feel gradually day by day. When you're ready, compile each note, edit, revise, do whatever you need to do for your final letter.
