Keeping Memories Alive
How I Met Your Father. The Story of Your Birth. These titles are just some of the topics I wish to tell my daughter about. How we met in my first class in University, how soft her father’s voice was during roll call. How he asked me for coffee after class. Fast forward many years later to her induced delivery, and then a last minute caesarean. There are so many details I wish for her to know (and many more I plan to leave out).
For now, I’ve started a blog for her, with a special category called Notes To Mina. This is where I take time to speak to her directly about things going on with her. How much she weights, any milestones she’s currently mastered, new things in her life. With the details of life always crowding the day, I don’t want to forget about the details that may be important to her. Her blog is one of my ways to keep these important events, events that may eventually be of great delight for her to read up on, immortalized so to speak. I include videos, photos and try to update it often.
There are many other ways that parents nowadays can preserve those special moments in their children’s lives. There’s the good old photo album, scrap-booking, and digital videos. A blog is just one of the newer medium for such a task. It’s easy to update, there are many free blog hosts one can use such as Blogger.com, Wordpress and other even more baby-focused sites such as Babies Online’s very own. You can also password-protect posts for privacy and security. With some of the sites It’s easy to get started, and your little one may just thank you for it later.
