I have a tradition with my kids, whenever they've had major life events (eg, Bar/Bat Mitzvah's, graduation, etc) I've written a very personal letter to them, which - I hope - they'll keep and look at long after I'm gone, so that they can remember me as well as their lives when they were young ( Read more... ) -
