The Diary.

Keep a diary in which YOU write
everything that happens concerning
the children.
BY this I do not mean the date
on which he took his first step and
the date upon which he first said d

precious and it may be important IN

happenings of the later years. You
are likely to keep the physical rec
ords Of the first four years and then
stop. That is where l would begin.
You see. You forget so much. OF
course. one forgets what he does not
wish to remember. That - the point.
You have need to remember. II
