After our talk, I realized that when one is getting old, the stories one has gathered through a lifetime is most valuable than anything else in this world.
I think it is the "unloading" that helps lighten a person when he talks about one's story. My father who died recently did not talk much about himself to me, but he gave my children important lessons in life.
I am writing some of my thoughts this early through my blog because there are times when I am not able to talk to my children. I should talk to them more often.
But I told my children, that when the time comes that I leave this world permanently, they have to find their way to my blog. Although they oftentimes check on my blog they also do not do it regularly. But I am happy that they show interests.
Karlsen, my youngest son, promised that he will print all the pages in my blog when I die. Oh, he said it in jest. But I hope he is serious with it.
Angelo started writing his own blog but it is just a requirement in school. I wanted him to write because he wants to. He used to write many interesting topics in his formal theme writing in school. He drifted away from that skill for sometime. I hope he gets it back.
From now on too, I do not leave my blog without a real life lesson!
