If I Go Missing....

If I Go Missing.....
     My Daughter loves to listen to crime pod casts.  Last week during spring break we were listening to a podcast together called if I go missing.  The next day I had to drive to work in a blizzard so as I left for work I texted my daughter and wrote, If I go missing this is the route I am driving to work.I have to say that it was the scariest drive in a snow storm I have ever had.  There were lots of people stuck on the side of the road and my usually very short commute took over an hour and a half.
This has started a daily correspondence of texts between my daughter and I about our day and what we are doing and where we are going. All starting with "If I Go Missing."
     I thought it would be a neat thing to post little journal entries about things I would want my family to know about me if I ever went missing, or if I just happen to die suddenly.  Not that I think that would happen to someone as boring as I am.  But there are things that perhaps I have not told them that they might want to know.
     So my rule is with these post no photos. Just a short little journal about something or someone in my life.  It's for me to practice writing and to leave a little bit of my history for my family to some day read and enjoy. 
     Something I would like them to know is that I love my daily texts with my daughter.  We always text good morning and good night and then have little random text conversations though out the day.  I love that we can be apart but still be a part of each others life.  I also email my mom pretty much everyday.  We share some little part of our day with each other.  I have kept every single email my mom has sent me over the years.  I was thinking I should print them out and make a book, but after making a book of two years of emails from my sons mission I think the task of printing years of emails may be too big of a project.
So If I go missing I want my family to know that I loved keeping in contact with you by text message, and email and snail mail.  I love all the different ways that we have communicated.  Each text, email and letter has been treasured.
