A Memory Journal for your Children
A writing a journal for your children is a wonderful thing to leave as your legacy to them.
- Buy a nicely bound journal that looks like it would be neat to inherit – one for each of your children. I bought 3 Moleskine notebooks. I selected it because it because I thought it had a rich history of famous writers, then when writing this entry I read in the Wikipedia entry that the rich history was marketing hogwash, but I digress…
- Get a slick looking pen with acid free ink. I actually don’t know if it makes a difference, but I feel more authoratative writing with it
- When the spirit moves you write a letter to your child in the journal. The goal is to leave a little bit of yourself for your children, forever.
- When you pass, make sure the journals are someplace such that your progeny will find them.
I am very crappy at keeping a journal, but I figure even if I only write an entry or two annually, that will still be some substantial messages from me to my children. I am assuming I will survive many more years, which may require some exercise, but that is a different story for a different day.

My experience so far has been as follows:
Our online pharmacy is the perfect resource for people to get their drugs without any hassles or awkwardness. buy cialis We work hard to make sure you save money every time you shop with us. buy levitrabuy soma At our online store, you pay less and get more. buy viagra
- As anticipated, I am not very good a keeping up with the journals. I am writing annually right now – on my children’s birthdays.
- I find it interesting that sometimes my style of writing is geared for their current age and other times the adults they will be when reading the journal.
- Since it is probably the only thing I handwrite anymore, it is challenging that I can only edit entries with notes in the margin. I contemplated an electronic journal but think the connection will be stronger if they are actually reading ink in my handwriting.
- Since I know I will be gone when they read it, I do find myself using it like a personal journal and sharing “innermost thoughts” that I would probably not otherwise share with my children.
- I enjoy rereading my old entries because it takes me back to what was going on in their lives when I wrote the entries. Plus I am a wildly fascinating writer.
So why are you still reading this – go get some journals!!
