They periodically check up on you by email to make sure that you are still alive. If you fail to respond for too long they assume you died and send out your emergency letters...I can think of several applications where this could be useful.

I actually took a class called letters from Dad that discusses the importance of writing those letters and how to write them. Several different formats, what to say or more of what not to say and it had several examples to build from. People underestimate the importance of sharing their feelings. Justin,

I'm sorry to hear of your father's loss, I had no idea. I'm a huge believer of leaving your legacy with your children in some form of another, the blogging/internet/web only makes it easier for our children to really get to know who you are and thoughts as you take them through life, such as teenage and terrible two's! For me, the most I do is think about it and never have put a blog together like that! I see it all the time where others have. So many thoughts have crossed my mind such as: Would I embarrass my kid? Would they read it? Would they care? All result in the same answer, 'I would be gone' and 'if only I had something to read from my mother'!! One suggestion I would say if you are considering writing such a blog for your legacy, is to implement a plugin that allows them to 'print' the post!! Eventually your hosting will run out, unless your kid is a geeky as you and keeps the hosting and legacy going! Thanks for sharing your story and a little about you!

Hey what do you care... you're gone!
