A month ago I told you about the memories of my children that I could have saved and did not keep, to explain a little how we had done it, how I would like to have done it (when time passes, it is already late) and at the same time offer some ideas for those parents who, being on time, decide to keep memories for when the baby grows up.
Speaking about it with a friend, he explained that he had decided to do something also to get his son to remember his childhood whenever he wanted. He had read it in a magazine and it seemed so original that he put it into practice. He decided tell you things by email, to read when he grew up.
Create an email account for the baby
To do this, he created an email account with his son's name and gave him the relevant password. From that moment, your email account became your "memory box". They started sending him there photos, videos and texts where they explained what they felt in each moment, how much they loved him and what his advances were as he grew up.
I asked him if they still do, because the boy is already 5 years old. He said yes. Not with the same frequency as at the beginning, but often, telling him things he does, things that explain him, anecdotes and more or less funny or relatively important situations.
When you are older, we give you the password
Everything will be there, in your email account, like a great multimedia newspaper full of phrases, memories, videos, photos, anecdotes and feelings. I put myself in the place of his son and it seems to me an impressive gift, a small key to a large drawer of memories in which you will not only find the photos and videos, the typical thing that all parents keep, but also the explanation of it , written at the time it happened: amazing.
It would be like the typical diary of a lifetime, with phrases and photos, but in 2.0 format. An improved diary. A newspaper that you can access, in the future, when your parents explain that you have an email account and that you will find it his life, seen by the eyes of his parents, summarized in a few messages. Can you imagine receiving your email password and opening a message that was received 15 years ago for the first time?
