That's cute. She treats it like writing letters or maybe postcards given the length of the message.

I feel like that's what email should be. More than texting, less frequent than chats, record keeping, quick little updates on life, etc.

Texts are for either unimportant things or emergencies, an email is like a news report after things are stable or a state of the family update. You send it out when the details are worked out so it's easy to reference. I hate when family plans happen in emails, I don't want emails between 10 family members and their responses to how we're going to eat at Grandma's. Text me, then when we decide how we're gonna do it send an email with the final decisions to everyone.
