What Others are Saying about "The Legacy Letters"
"The Legacy Letters literally sent chills down my spine! It made me deeply reflect on my own life and what I have done and what I haven't done. I am more aware now of the day to day decisions I make and the impact they have on my children. It made me think profoundly about the values I am passing on to my kids. This book changed my outlook on life, Please read!” -Amazon Review, L. Scheier

What Others are Saying about "The Legacy Letters"
“This was such a phenomenal read, I really don't know how to put into words how it made me feel. There were points where I was laughing so hard my stomach hurt, and parts where I was lying in bed reading and crying my poor little eyes out. It was so touching to read about the things this man wanted his children to know, and so sad to know he would never be able to see them learn them.
I don't want to give too much away, so I will just tell you that this book was a love story about life. Carew wrapped a timeless message in the blanket of a story of man who loved his wife and children so much that he'd leave behind pieces of himself so that he would be with them always. I'd recommend this book to parents, children, teachers, romance enthusiast, and well...EVERYONE! It is definitely a must read, and should be on the top of everyone's to be read list.”

The Legacy Letters - Official Press Release
“Deeply immersive . . . authentic . . . emotionally potent.” – Kirkus Reviews
The Legacy Letters
his wife, his children, his final gift
A Timeless and Universal Love Story about Life
Rediscovered private letters from a dying father to his children—and his wife—uncover a passionate and powerful guidebook to life.
Summary— The Legacy Letters reveals to us the stories, memories, and music of a dying father, which ultimately becomes the practical, moral, and spiritual gift and guidebook for his children he’d never live to see, and for his wife, his redemptive story of love.
Seattle, WA—August 8, 2013—Carew Papritz, Best-selling Author Combining the best elements of such inspirational books as Tuesdays with Morrie, The Last Lecture, and Chicken Soup for the Soul, Carew Papritz has created an intense and thought- provoking book, filled with life instructions that are beautiful, revealing, and as Kirkus Reviews writes, “Deeply immersive . . . authentic . . . emotionally potent.” “A nightstand essential.”
Who Reads This “Everybody Book?” Romantic and pragmatic, old-fashioned and new-fashioned, life- questioning and life-altering, The Legacy Letters is an “everybody book.” It appeals to new parents and parents-to-be for its detailed life instructions. Parents are reading it to and with their children. Teenagers are rediscovering timeless values and ideas still relevant for a new time. Grandparents read it for the nostalgia of an earlier time and to read to their grandchildren. For people hungry to find meaning in their lives, The Legacy Letters offers its audience a way to think about, talk about, and even change their lives—to create their own “Legacy Life.”
Discovering the Songs of The Legacy Letters—Carew also adds an unique element, songs written specifically for the book. The Legacy Letters—The Songs is the gift of music, along with the letters, that the author left to both his children and his wife. The full album will be available this fall.
A Writer’s Life Made for The Legacy Letters— Carew Papritz was born in Yosemite National Park, and has lived in England, Norway, and across the US. He has worked as a cowboy and wrangler, ski patrol, freelance journalist, tour bus driver, bartender, and in feature films in Hollywood. He began writing The Legacy Letters on the back of his pickup while working on a ranch. Eventually, he “wrangled” “the woman who would become his wife; they were married on horseback while a bagpiper played. They now have a son and live in Washington state and the Southwest.

"Time"
"Time"
The Legacy Letters
By Carew Papritz
Time. Either you are for it or against it. So be here now. Not later. Do what you want to do, and with the people you love. Learn to appreciate time and make doing so a habit. And if you want to do nothing, then enjoy doing it well. Why do anything by half? Why live a life diluted? What's the use?

"Starting the Day"
"Starting the Day"
The Legacy Letters
By Carew Papritz
Sometimes we make being happy so difficult. And being thankful such a chore. Starting the day like a job we hate. Beginning it like swallowing ten tablespoons of devil-made cough syrup.
Because somehow along the way we forget that being alive and healthy and happy are noble goals-or just good ideas.
And that the opposite of being alive is being dead. What a choice.

Dream bravely. Forget the gods and face your fears. Don't let little terrors hobble you like a bunch of gremlins manacled to your ankles, constantly nipping and biting at you. Find fearlessness inside of you. Dare, and fear will falter. Challenge, and fear will flee. This is the beginning to your dream-making.

Being old is for grumps, crabby-heads, and whiners whose main goal is to drag everyone and everything down into their miserable knothole.
Ignore the bastards.

"These Moments Cascade Upon One Another"
"These Moments Cascade Upon One Another"
The Legacy Letters
By Carew Papritz
Here at shepherd's dusk, in a valley without echo, I listen for you. With a frayed longing, I hear your shadow voice whispering within me from far away.
I grasp at what is left of this husky sun lying golden upon the upper meadows of lodgepole and bear grass.
I gather the last remnants of the evening's breeze, so cool and lazy within my arms, feeling it curl up like a small and innocent kitten. And I see that behind a cloak of clouds, dalliance suits the canting moon.
Suddenly I do not wish to lose another moment,
And I covet all pristine light.The Legacy Letters
