Gabriel, this is interesting...
I myself wrote a book ("A Reason Why" ) because I did not want that my
children should remain with unanswered questions when I won't be here one
day.
It was simply so that I suddenly remembered something which happened in my
childhood and I wanted to know more details of what happened then - but
unfortunately there was no one anymore whom I could ask! Actually the book I
wrote was originally just a manuscript meant for children and
grandchildren - that it was published - was some kind of pure coincidence.

The purpose of this message is to encourage you to write! It does not
necessarily have to become a book, but one day your children and younger
family will be very eager to read it. I still remember vividly how those
unanswered questions bothered me - how I wish that someone would have
written for me!
And do you know something? When leafing through my book I find situations
which ordinarily I myself would have forgotten by now! And it was published
in 2003 only!
We forget how soon we forget!
Have a nice week-end, Lucca
