30 things I want my child to know about me
I recently stumbled upon a blog where a woman decided to document 30 things that she wants her children to know about her. I love this idea and decided to follow suit.
We are just about 3 months away from Liam's arrival and coming up on the 10 year mark of my mom's passing. I realized that I probably couldn't tell you her answer to half of the things on this list. I guess with me being only 18 years old when she died, I never reached an age of maturity to ask her/find out about most of them. I did have 18 years with an amazing mother, but I'll obviously miss out on a long future of old and new stories to hear and tell. God forbid something happen to me, I would want my son and family to know these things about me.
So here they are! I don't plan on doing them sequentially, but I'll fill in the links as I finish them off, but for now...
1. List 20 random facts about yourself.
2. Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.
3. Describe your relationship with your spouse.
4. List 10 things you could tell your 16 year old self, if you could.
5. What are 5 things that make you most happy right now?
