A Request for Ideas

Last year for Christmas I wrote a book for my mother. The book consisted of happy memories from childhood. She told me she loved the book and recently I found out that she reads it about once a week. I had no idea it would mean so much.

The point behind the book was to let her know when she's alive all the cool things I remember about her. The one thing she mentioned from the book that she loves and was surprised to see in there is the 10 things I admire about her.

I want to do another book this Christmas, but I'm kind of having writer's block for things to write in there.

So here's my question to the people who read my blog.

What sort of things would you like to hear from your loved ones while you are still alive? What would mean the most to you?

I'm looking for ideas of things to write about. I'm going to really try hard to remember what I wrote in the book last Christmas and try even harder not to repeat anything I wrote in there.

Parents, what would you want to hear from your children?
Children, what would you want your parents to know before they die? What would you want to say to them?

Any ideas and help would be greatly appreciated.

You could do a "Remember when..." book detailing events from your past you shared together. Or maybe moments from your life where she meant a little more to you or the thought of her kept you going.
