Leaving
Legacies
By Dionna Sanchez
I don't remember a lot of things about when I was a
little girl. And the things I do remember, I recall them with the slant of
a child's heart and eyes. That is why I am so thankful to have a precious
gift that my mom gave me - one that I am now doing for my own children. She
kept journals for me and my sister.
My mom would write in them whenever she felt the need, keeping record of
the events and growing phases of our lives. What is so priceless to me, is
that I have in her own words, a record of how she felt as my mom, as she
saw me go through these different phases of life. It is extremely special
to me and even to this day, I give her back the journal once in awhile so
she can add to it her feelings of seeing me as an adult and mom. When the
day comes and God chooses to take her home, I know these journals will be
extra treasures to me.
I hope that my children will appreciate their journals as much as I appreciate
my own. I hope when the day comes and I present them to my kids as they leave
home - they will feel my love knowing I kept doing this as they were growing
up.
What a wonderful legacy we can leave our kids. Talking to them and sharing
with them in a way that is impossible while they are young. And if any of
us can't remain with them, what a powerful way to incorporate family values
and beliefs into their hearts. I invite you to join with me in privately
keeping these journals for our children until the right day comes when we
choose to deliver them into their hands. May God bless us as we leave our
legacies.
