Yeah, I totally get that. I do the same actually. I think I mentioned on a different comment to you that I use fountain pens and enjoy writing longhand—and I keep a journal for my kids. One hopefully they can read someday if they learn how to read cursive (the oldest can already read cursive, so he's good, unless he forgets). So I completely understand both his desire and his heartbreak at losing it.

I'm just thinking if he wants to try something else, Day One is a cool option.
