Reply to comment by Cultural_Star_6355 in LPT: If you have items that are precious, tell your adult children the story of those things far before death. Better yet, write it down and include it with the item. by AcroAmo

Thank you for your thoughts.

It sounds as though you are in remission? That must have been some hard shit to work through. Truly, I’m happy to hear the treatment worked and I hope it continues to be enough.

You could create email addresses for your children and send them notes. Or it could just be handwritten notes to be opened later. As an adult now, the story behind the stuff is more meaningful because I can see my mom as both a mom and as a woman. That was much murkier when I was young and before I had my own child. Your littles might like to enjoy notes of you expressing your love and hopes for them. Perhaps some memories that are ‘big’ (big means different things to different people). And pictures together.

Wishing you well.

Yes currently in remission and hoping to stay that way! 🙏🏻 Thanks for that insight…I know that may have been hard to write and ponder but I appreciate the thoughtful response because those are wonderful ideas. Sending hugs and strength your way ♥️
