That is a fantastic piece of advice and well worth following. If everyone did life would be great, let's hope they do! ☺😽
@crowncottage ty 😊 I'm still trying to write a couple a week for the kids and write them into a journal book.. Wish I could remember whose idea it was.. Was it @MrsS ?
@Burrfoot that is a lovely idea, I can imagine how proud they will be when they show the journals to their children, wonderful! 😽
@crowncottage no, there was a poem and comments about putting a poem a day dedicated to her kids into a journal for them..
@Burrfoot a few names spring to mind but you will probably know better than me. Let me know if you find it and I will try too, between us we should manage to find it! 😄
And my husband bought me a leather bound journal with my name inscribed on it do it would become " the book if love" I did a poem about that aswell called the gift. ☺😘
@crowncottage @eddie12309 I knew it 👍👏 perhaps the Opuss that has the biggest affect on my in a real way 👏👏👏👏
@eddie12309 @crowncottage brilliant 👍 I got a book with the footprints in the sand poem/psalm (was my dads favourite) .. Wish I could repost your poem again!!!!!
@Burrfoot @eddie12309 it is a wonderful idea, well done you! I was moved when I read and posted Tom's poem for Bobby (his grandson) it is such a sincere expression of love that will be passed down the generations. I may even get off my backside and start three for my grandchildren, illustrated too and that will gloss over the fact that I am a dreadful poet, I do love them though! 😄😽😽
@Burrfoot that's beautiful and I'm really touched by your comment. If I only make one person smile on my time here then my job is done. 😘😘💚
@Burrfoot @crowncottage thank you. I adore the footprints in the sand. I statrted it as sadly I have absolute no physical memories of my parents, when my mum passed away everything went to. So I was determined for my children to have tangible and intangible memories. It's just something money can't buy. 💚☺
@eddie12309 that is so true. Even when you are really old 😹 memories of love, especially tangible ones, are the most valuable things, all the x boxes and special trainers are worth nothing! 😽
