Leah Remini takes nothing for granted.

Remini, 53, signs fan mail every two weeks, even 17 years since the last episode King of Queens broadcasted.

“I thought I’d share this with you. I still write my fan mail. I still sign it. My mom puts it all on my dining room table and I do it once every two weeks,” Remini explained as she filmed through dozens of signed photos standing on top of stamped envelopes in an Instagram video.

“I always swear I’m going to do it and I’m always going to sign autographs or take pictures if I can with people. Because this is what I’ve been dreaming of, people want my picture,” Remini continued.
