for my .........

I keep a blog for my son and one for my daughter as well. In them I write like I were talking to the adult version of them. I will give it to them when they are older. I would like you to write a "For my" entry in your jurnal... you can write to who ever you want to... but be honest and search hard for some sort of meaningful writing. You will probably never give it to them. (you could if you wanted to though)
