I was just wondering how many, if any, of you have letters written to your children in case you die unexpectedly?
I know I would want to share my hopes and dreams with my daughter. Tell her just how much I love her and what my hopes for her are. I want to start but I'm just unsure how. Guess I just gotta jump into it =/
Anyone else thought of this?
I do not have a letter written to each of them but I have several poems that were dedicated to them. I write poetry.
Quoting janessa27:
I have honestly never thought about this. I did start journals for both of them when they were born....but I haven't wrote in them in a long time:(
I was sort of afraid of the concept. Felt like I might be come a self fulfilled prophecy lol. But I think I'd really like to.
i have not but im afraid to start one just incase it happens....

That's totally how I feel.
But seeing my friends daughter the other night and realizing her mommy, who was an amazing woman, will not be around to watch her grow and give her guidance still brings me to tears. I can honestly say, I hug my daughter tighter and tell her I love her more often (if that's possible) now since all of this has gone on. Its a lot to think about.
Actually, in an effort to act like I was actually alive, I wrote my children several letters each --and gave them to them in their teens, immediately after writing them.
I happen to know ('cause I helped them move, and I'm observant if quiet :D) that they both still have all of them. Makes me feel all warm inside.
I don't want my kids to have to wait until I'm dead to find out how much I admire them.
I had started when Stephan was a baby but I stopped as life took over, we have a book here that we write in from time to time to talk with others it is kind of like a diary but Shawn, the kids, and I write in it.
I feel i made a difference today.
