I have kept a diary since our youngest daughter was 11y old. She is now 37y! Jeepers, how did those years fly by? I kept the diaries in a drawer, then we downsized 7 years ago and I put them all in a box at the back of the wardrobe. The box is now full .... and I’m not sure what to do with them! Read them all one last time & chuck them out? Leave them for our daughters to find & read in the fullness of time? The diaries started out as a practical help, with a ‘to do’ list on the notes page, and appointments duly entered. I carried it around all the time in whatever bag I was using. It became a place to park any anxieties when our daughters were teenagers/at uni etc. Lately, the last 3 years (oh yes I realise, since we have retired!) I don’t use it as much. Appointments/social events tend to be written on our calendar. What to do with the diaries?
