I know, it sounds scary. Life is so precious that we all turn towards it and this is the way it should be. However, "what if". Even assuming that we leave enough money to raise our kids, they would grow up without our advice and without knowing us. During a long period of unemployment years ago, I wrote a document to my children (they were babies then) trying to cover the things I would have told them in the years to come. Right now I'm trying to help other parents do the same. God bless you and your family

When my kids were born I wrote them letter to read in case something happened to me. My kids are 4 and nearly 3 and I have written them a letter every year since. I also have a book of their routines and update it whenever anything changed. That way if something happened to me, I've got my children covered.

We impact upon our children most by how we lead our own lives. Writing things down, photos is of interest to children, but not much more. My son's mother died getting on 10 years ago. As she knew she was dying she did what is spoken of; wrote down what happened in early years. But the more time goes on this has become more an historical curiosity. I had long insisted on compulsory act of remberance around birthdays, mother's days and such. Visits to former work place, grave, met old friends. This year they said they wanted me not to do so. Literary tombstones fad in time; very quickly. Live with your children now!
