Step 4. Creation and Preservation

Practically, you will need a way to capture your ideas.
Options:

1. Handwrite letters after printing out the
downloadable templates in color, or use your
own stationery. Place in a sealed, titled
envelope.
2. Type letters and print out, place into a
sealed/titled envelope, or save in the cloud,
thumb drive or hard drive.
3. Record videos to save electronically.
4. Dictate your letters into a notes section of your

phone.
5. Type your letters in Google Drive or Evernote,
which allow you to edit from various devices and
also share with others.
6. Open an email account for your child, or simply
dictate or write emails to yourself with the things
you want to say. I prefer the second method, as
your child will receive the emails staggered,
rather than at once.
You should store each paper letter in a fireproof
cabinet, portable safe or safety deposit box. These
letters are your legacy. Treat them well.
