We all like Nostalgia – Reminiscences of our past and many times we relive such moments with the help of diaries , photographs or video in which we record our experiences , reflections and those moments we cherish for all our life .
When a child is born , the parents record the event on photos or videos . Some of them may write notes in their private diary to recap the moments later . But , do these records other than the photos and videos ever get seen by the new born later ? . Very rarely !! .
I feel it is a good idea for either the father or mother or jointly by both if practicable , to start a journal as an adjunct to the images to record every day in the new born child’s life from birth or even earlier from the date when the child is conceived as they deem fit . Such a diary could then be handed over to the child when he or she is old enough to appreciate the importance to continue the endeavor .
It is essential to know one’s roots and the family tree and such journals will be of immense help to map LIFE !!
Thank you.
