Have you received any memorable letters you would like to have your children and grandchildren read?

I suppose some of the letters that I might have them read would be letters that I received from my grandmother each year I had a birthday when she would send a dollar to us and include a short note of love and appreciation for us. There would also be the letters that I received from Marie when we were young lovers in high school. They would not be able to though since a lot of them were written in an obsolete language known as “shorthand”, I even had to have help when I was trying to read them. Then letters that my parent wrote to me during my mission would be good for them to read but all of these letters would be thrown away by them if I were to die and they were to come in and clean up. They might stop for a second and read one or two but they are not interested in “old stuff that seems to be something of junk.”  So I guess that if I really want them to read them I should get busy and include them in this blog so that they can ignore them as they do now for the most part. Some do read this and I hope that they enjoy it but I think life is too busy for the rest to read it so I do it for the ones who do read it. Maybe, just maybe they will learn something from my life and my experiences that will help to build their testimonies of the gospel and their Savior knowing that He has done so much for me in preserving my life and giving me direction that has helped me to love all of His creations and all of my relationships with my family and friends.
