I agree that our legacies have fallen by the wayside in addition to a lot of other important traditions. I would love to hear other people's ideas as to what legacy - physical and/or spiritual they intend to leave for their loved ones.

Enjoy! We were at a friends house on Sunday - he has a Family Bible - the Bible was printed in 1753 and the earliest signature is 1823! Amazing! It was such a joy just to hold it and gaze upon the handwritten notes in it. I am doing a handwritten 'Prayer Bible' for my son - dunno if you have seen it on my FB or Word site? At least you have something to cherish Randy. Enjoy!

I was thinking about what my grandfather left me, legacy-wise. He didn't make anything for me, but I ended up with a tool and die set that he made for himself at Ford Motor Co, where he worked all his life. It sits in my garage, untouched (I have no idea what all those things are for). I got them many years after my mom died. She had stored them for years as well. I spent hours looking through all the little pieces, handling every one, knowing that his hands crafted each part. I don't have anything else except a few memories, but this strange (and really heavy) box of hand crafted tools somehow connects me to him. You’re so right, Pops.

I am doing something of my own to give to my son, I want him to have something he can hand down to his boy and say "Your Gramps made this for me, I give it to you as my son" I think we have lost the art of legacy. We have lost the art of family tradition and values in the sense of we make nothing ourselves to pass on. sure, it is easy to go buy something, but what about something you make yourself? What about taking the time and effort to make something for your child that will last a couple of generations? If this was my last day I would go all out to complete the project!
