You may think your life is boring, but you should know that those who come after you may want to know your personal history. Your children and your grandchildren will one day want to know about parts of your life that they did not know. Many children are shocked to find out that their parents had a life before they were born, and in many cases, were completely different people than they thought. If you have kept a journal or diary, this is the best personal history you can leave for your children. You may not want them to read it until after you have passed on, but this will give them some idea of who you were in will also give them a way to stay close to you after you have gone.
