Before we children arrived both had works published in local newspapers. My mother made notes on/about everything, stated 'power in the pen'!
Dad was more into giving poetry he had found that carried meaning, many retyped and passed on to us as teenagers. Years later you pull out scrap books and read them, now making more sense compared to the hard headed teenager.
This is nice! I believe that having this kind of writing available for reading years later can make you understand your family better
I have two from dad that I cherish, mom many quotes used over the years I keep in mind, very stabilizing.
You are lucky for having such awesome parents!
We had good days and bad days, very balanced in the end! 😁
