I keep meaning to. I'd love to write one with letters to the boys in it and have Jake contribute, too. Then give it/them to the boys when they graduate.
But I think we'd keep it electronically so we could just get it printed for both instead of one having one copy and one having the original.
I credit it with learning to love writing. When I started I hated writing. And I particularly hated my own voice in my writing. My need to record my life, as trivial as it was and may be, over rode my hatred of reading my own writing
I do. Every day. And have for years now, I started religiously, during college. Some days it is incessant brain farts, other days they are some pretty heavy thoughts. I'm an extremely private person so this was a perfect way to get my thoughts out, however mundane they were.
