Letters From Mom Notebook

Description

For those of us not great at baby books (or are past that stage), writing letters to my kids is how I’ve personally documented the various stages of our lives. I’ve been writing them letters ever since they were babies, mostly in the late hours of the night.

The practice of writing letters to my kids gave me a sense of peace by time stamping days they may not remember and also giving them some insight into my perspective. Of course, I sprinkle in bits of advice they just might need someday.

I wrote about my own letters in my book, and how it was a source of great comfort to me as I wrote what could have been the last entry on the night before a risky brain surgery. Thankfully it wasn’t my time yet, but someday it will be, and when it is, I will be relieved by the fact they will always have a tangible piece of me and my love in their journals.
