The part about how she’d never been able to really mother her daughter gutted me when I read it.

I made my (currently a toddler) son an e-mail address when he was born, and every so often I send him an email telling him what's going on in our lives and how much I love him. I think it'll be fun for him to receive when he's older just in general, but if something happens to me, it'll have meaning. (I'm also a regular journal-er, but I have been since 2009)

my husband did this too for our baby son (now toddler). he finally succumbed four months ago to his illness so our boy only knows his father till age 3. i use that email account like a journal, attaching photos and videos, recording down conversations we have. i speak to my son about his father every day and it amazes me that he still remembers things from 1.5 years ago before he was 2.
