We have many posts from members say they wished they had listened to their parents but as youngsters were not interested in parents lives.
As far as my children go that's tough because they will inherit my diaries,lol.
I began keeping a diary over 30 years ago.Nothing earth shattering in them quite the opposite but handy when one of the family asks what happened at a certain time.
Each day has the weather.
The rest of the pages over 30 years have been full of.
Dinner menus, shopping, state of the garden,boys illnesses,birthdays, christmases, attending our sons graduation at Coventry Uni. Sons weddings , the joy of being woken at 2am to be told I was a grandma to a baby girl, and 2 years later a grandson.
What cars we all bought over the years
Holidays in Devon, seeing the French Riviera, and paddling in the Med, hearing the roar of Niagra falls before I saw them
There is also a lot of sadness in them losing my parents and over the years 4 of my beloved Yorkies and then myself, my son and my husband all battling and coming through Cancer.
Pretty boring to most but when asked what year did I see the Cure concert Mom or from husband, how long have we had this carpet, Trust Mom she has all the info to hand,lol.
