Our Kids Don't Want Our Stuff, and Other Thoughts

Send us a text

Boy, what a tough few days I have had. There has been a lot of emotion churning inside me. I'll let you listen, but here are some key points in my mind that I want to get across to you:
1. We hope to always have our memories, and therefore we buy things to memorialize special occasions or events, hoping that somehow the stuff will allow us to recapture the feelings from that event or occasion - to take us back there, even for just a moment. 
2. It's Our life, and it's Our stuff. It isn't Their life and it's not Their stuff. They will have plenty of their own stuff. 
3. Go do the thing. Don't wait your whole life and then not be able to enjoy the fruit of your labor. 
4. Guard your tongue before you speak so you don't have to eat the words later. 

Lastly: Our memories are something we keep and give away at the same time,       in the stories we share with others and the mementos we've collected along       the way.
