Write Letters to Your Children
And what you should write about.
You should write letters to your children, and you should start doing it now. Even if they haven’t been born yet. Even if they can’t read. Even if you don’t give the letter to them yet.
How often do you get a handwritten letter in the mail? When you do, is it memorable?
You would be surprised at how many people keep the letters that others have written to them, especially from those they care about. These are potential artifacts that can stick around for a long time.
To build a lasting legacy, your children must remember you. They must remember what you taught them. They must remember what you stood for. They must remember your words.
But all of us are forgetful creatures.
