What do you think?
Morning Marchers,
I've been thinking about writing letters to my kids and husband in the event that something goes wrong...Just thinking about it really tears me up. God forbid something happens to me and I didn't leave anything for my children...? I think that if something did happen to me it would be nice for my kids to have something to hold onto, something they can read and always know that their mommy loved them so much...What do you all think about this?

I agree with Joy and Kristin both. 
Don't put yourself into a blue funk. Instead, pour out the love you have in your heart for those beautiful kidlets if you're going to write them letters.
I have a letter I have to write and leave with my papers. I really don't want to write it, but I have to. I think that's why I keep putting off my "paperwork" - hoping maybe I may run out of time and just not get around to it. 
I learned a very valuable lesson when I was 21 years old. Long story made short, a boss who believed in me and promoted me against all company policy died ONE DAY before I was to have lunch with him (Much to his chagrin, I'd married, given up an incredible career, and was a "housewife" at that time, but we lunched often, even after I'd quit). At the lunch I was going to tell him how much I loved him and appreciated what he did for me, etc. That day never came. A week later, I put roses on Spence's casket. I learned that day to give my roses NOW, not to wait, 'cuz later may never come. I'm very verbal about telling those who I love that I love them, about giving compliments and good thoughts to people, etc. At first, people are uncomfortable with it. But those who know me know that that's just how I am. So I give my roses now...always will. 
Anyhoo, I, too, have letters and notes from those in my life who I love/who loved me. Some of them are gone now. Those scribblings are precious and priceless to me. If you're gonna write your babies, make it something they can SMILE and GLOW on for the rest of their lives, not something that'll make 'em sad. Give 'em roses.
