Especially now that I have two children who are older, it's harder to tell them what I want to tell them face to face (too mushy and sentimental). But in a letter, yes, that's the way to do it.twisterfishhttp://twisterfish.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948053377584888121.post-41181227132177728612013-01-22T22:02:12.252-05:002013-01-22T22:02:12.252-05:00When I was 30, a high school friend got a rapidly-...When I was 30, a high school friend got a rapidly-moving cancer and died. I didn't find out he was even sick until the day after he died. I've wished so hard that he'd written to say good-bye.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948053377584888121.post-76613398767118039942013-01-22T18:23:32.781-05:002013-01-22T18:23:32.781-05:00I love the idea of yearly letters to the kiddos.

That seems a lot less morbid than "just in case" letters.<br /><br />I hate that you're in a position to be thinking about such things. :(strangeHeatherhttp://strangenessofheather.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948053377584888121.post-9727030866532768572013-01-22T13:24:24.520-05:002013-01-22T13:24:24.520-05:00I've thought about writing notes to my husband...I've thought about writing notes to my husband and children - especially the children, yet I don't know what I would say other than "I love you" about a million times over.<br /><br />I write each child letters about once a year - sometimes more - that go in a book for each of them. I like to think that if (really when) I die they will read those letters and it will be clear how over the moon I am for them.Ginahttp://www.mendolo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948053377584888121.post-84035115582219775122013-01-22T01:05:18.053-05:002013-01-22T01:05:18.053-05:00Ooof.

Because I truly believe that she did.<br /><br />And I like your idea of writing those notes JUST IN CASE. (I totally did that as a morose teenager too. They'll need to be updated and not contain so much awkward poetry.)Superjuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01636075304563194445noreply@blogger.com
