We're all going to pass at some point in time, which piece of your own writing would you like to be remembered by/with. If not a piece of writing what other remembrance would you choose?

I remember when I found out I was expecting, I had a lot of questions. I discovered that far too often, the answers were "I don't really remember", whenever I queried other women about their pregnancy journey or questions about their child's developments. I promised myself that I would try my best to document my experiences of carrying my daughter, her birth and all the various milestones and cornerstone memories as she aged. For the most part, I have at least one entry/blog reflecting on each year of her life since her birth. My plan is to compile them into a book for her one day, so she will have my testimony of what it was like to be her mother and be part of her life's journey. From time to time, I reread them. I believe they are a gift to myself, as much as for her. I get to relive all my most precious memories of this life with her - the challenging years and the beautiful moments. Those entries are the writings I would most like to be remembered for.

Prompt: "Patience is learned through waiting. " Eyen A. Gardner Write about this in your Blog entry.

I am not good at patience. It is not a virtue I would ever claim to possess. I agree with the quote in the sense that sometimes, when given no choice but to wait, we discover we have more patience then we might think we have. It is uncomfortable to wait on someone else, to not have the control over the pace and march of time.
