How many of you laggards are going to admit that you no longer do this (as the church encouraged and advised), or maybe even never did?
I started out by keeping copies of all the letters I sent family members. (Actually, now that we communicate via computer, this is easier to do.)
So, someday (after I'm gone), someone will have to go through my thousands of communications, just to make sure they didn't miss anything important--like my will.
Actually, as I have a few family heirlooms written down in a will, as to who should get what, should help keep family arguments to a minimum. (I have asked each what they would like most.) (The items I have aren't expensive, just valued as being family heirlooms.)
Also, when a grandchild gets married, I tend to give them one of the gifts I got at my wedding (such as glass-cut candy dish, etc.), which gift appears to be appreciated much more than something I could have bought for them today.
How about you?
