Thank you so much for your lovely post. It ...Margo,<br />Thank you so much for your lovely post. It made my day and raised my spirits.<br />I have often told people that preserving your own memories is as important as seeking your family history, or arranging photos of your children in scrapbooks. Your children will want to know what is important to you, or how did you handle this situation or that one.<br />I applaud you for understanding this at such a young age.<br />I'm flattered that you like this blog and appreciate that you read it.<br />I don't write very much here, but you have given me added incentive.<br />Thanks again,<br />SusanSusan Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12790466760098695931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3076656763927470902.post-34631977721287559962014-01-03T02:20:29.486-07:002014-01-03T02:20:29.486-07:00This is less a comment on your post specifically, ...This is less a comment on your post specifically, and more on the blog as a whole. I just wanted to applaud you for doing this, whether or not your children read it. I'm an adult child (31 now) who lost my mother nearly two years ago, and I would have loved if she'd kept something similar to this blog. As it happens, she did her own thing, including collecting family stories, and also created art. Now, as a relatively new mother myself, I am much more deliberately creating and leaving small legacies... and hope that mine are as much a comfort of what things I can find of my own mother. <br />You, and your writing, remind me of her - and that's a good thing. <3Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12468422007972840922noreply@blogger.com
