Write a Letter to Your Kids At Least Once in Your Life
A letter is the most beautiful gift you can give to another human being.
I’ve gotten in the habit of writing letters to my children every three months or so. I think I started doing this after my ex’s stepfather committed suicide. My ex’s mother was devastated for years wondering why couldn’t he have left some type of goodbye. Even though I will never commit suicide, I want to write letters to my children, so they will have them if something were to ever happen to me.
If you are thinking of doing the same thing, try and use beautiful paper. I use paper from Paperchase. There is also Papyrus that I absolutely adore as well.
I just read about a five-year old cancer patient who wrote hundreds of note to her family, so they could handle her deaths. She even wrote notes to her sister labeled “How to Handle Kindergarten.” Letters are powerful.
