So last night I was responding to an email and the topic of journaling for your children came up and I thought to myself, “I wonder how many people journal for their children?”.
I personally do journal for my children. I’m doing this because hours after my dad passed away last year, I rushed home to a book that he would write in all the time because I thought perhaps he had written something to me and I just wanted one last word or bit of information or anything to change the fact that he was gone, but it wasn’t there and I was devastated. I’m not sure what I expected him to write, and I think I was just grasping for anything, but I just wanted something from him to me. So I decided that I would do this for my children so that they had something. Even if I only get 1 page in, they will still have something.
So far I have only started Bella’s because it took me a long time to find the right book. “The right book” ended up being a journal that I made out of pictures of Bella on Costco.com. You can also make them on Snapfish, Kodak etc. So if you are considering this I highly suggest it. Even if it is to make a small note here or there, it is still something that you can give to them and they will have something special from you.
So how many of you journal to your children?
