My mom left a blog behind and I’m glad she
did. When she passed, I read her blog frequently because it seemed as if she
was just right here, talking to me. It was during those moments of sadness and
loneliness that I realized the importance of keeping memories. I realized that
memories matter most when they’re shared.
That is why I started blogging. Again. I
wanted to keep a written record of life’s wonderful and sometimes
not-so-wonderful moments so my family will always have something not only to
remind them of me but something of me. This will be my legacy.
But I don’t want to be serious and
melodramatic all the time. This journal is also the place where I store and
share the things that inspire me and make me happy, like pretty things,
delicious food and awesome vacations. And while I’m at it, maybe I’ll share a
thought, opinion or reflection. Who knows, someone out there might just find my
two cents worthwhile?
