"Leave nothing unsaid"... we might say this, but how often do we actually write down the little things?
That piece of advice I've filed away for when my daughter is older. The ancient jokes between friends where the secret meanings may get lost. The family recipe that lives in minds and muscle memory only.
My husband's biggest regret is not getting his dad's chocolate cake recipe before he died four years ago... it was damn good cake!
This excellent article suggests that these are the types of things that make up our legacy. The things by which we would be remembered, the nuggets that would be most meaningful to our loved ones. So why wait?
