A message to leave
What to say in a video message to your children
This is the message parents most mean to make and most often put off. It is for the moments you might not be in the room for: a graduation, a wedding, a hard night years from now when they need to hear your voice.
You do not need the perfect words. You need your words. Speak the way you would across the kitchen table, keep it short, and record more than one. A few honest minutes will mean more to them than any speech.
Who they are to you
- 01What did I feel the first time I held you?
- 02What do I love most about exactly who you are?
- 03What is a moment with you I would relive if I could?
- 04When were you braver or kinder than you realized?
- 05What did you teach me about being a parent, and about myself?
The things I want you to know
- 01What do I most want you to believe about your own worth?
- 02What should you do when you feel completely lost?
- 03How do you know when you have found the right person?
- 04What is worth spending your one life on, and what is not?
- 05What mistake of mine do I hope you never repeat?
- 06What do I want you to remember on your hardest days?
For the milestones I might miss
- 01What would I say to you on your wedding day?
- 02What do I want you to hear the day you become a parent?
- 03What would I tell you on the morning of something you are dreading?
- 04What do I hope for you at forty, at sixty, at the ages I might not see?
What I hope you carry
- 01What do I hope you keep from how you were raised, and what do I hope you leave behind?
- 02What do I want you to tell your own children about me?
- 03What do I want you to feel free to do after I am gone?
- 04What are the three things I most want you to never forget?
