I have created this blog as a hand-me-down to my children. Initially, in October 2010, a month before the birth of my daughter, I had started a journal. The purpose of the journal was to a keep-sake for my children - it was to contain bits of advice, wise words and just general advice that a parent hands down to a child over the years of parenting.
I realised that since a keep-sake book is likely to be lost or discarded that a blog was a way to somewhat make this eternal and timeless (ok, that might be a stretch). By the time that my children are old enough to read and understand this that books might be a thing of the past and the practice of reading might be through some form of word generating emitter that goes straight to the brain, or across the eyes like a ticker tape commonly found on business channels. Who really knows what the future might hold; with that in mind, I do hope the words and thoughts contained within are as applicable now as they are when my children might actually read this.
These thoughts are in no particular order. If one of my kids is actually reading these (years away now) then I have done something right, if they are rolling their eyes in embarrassment, then I know I have actually achieved my goal.
I hope that you find this useful and one day will look back fondly on this. Love you forever and ever. Daddy/Dad.
