Overview

"Have you ever wished you had more information about your family, where you all came from, and what life was like for your parents and grandparents while they were growing up? I know for sure I wish that! Or, do you have a parent whose memories are fading fast, and you want to help them come back to the present? Does your parent have a diagnosis of Alzheimer's or other aging/memory problem? If so, this book might help you to slow the process. It's a beautiful, book inside and out with a monogrammed cover. One of the biggest regrets in my life is not getting a life history from my Mother before she died. Oh, I asked her to record some things, but she ""never got around to it."" I can't help but believe that if I had had a booklet like this that would give her memory prompts she might have found it a much more pleasant activity. And if I had actually been there and worked through it with her, I am sure the results would have been amazing! I would have learned some family history I'd love to hear about, and she would have known just how much I cared. Alas, by the time I came to this realization, it was too late and my precious Mother was gone. It's my hope that you will use this book in any way that helps you. I have included 100 questions that will help jog your Mom's (or even Grandmother's) memory. There are two pages for each question that she can fill out in detail. This can be such a fun and wonderful family resource! The questions don't have to be answered in order - but except for the very first question - What is your first memory? - they aren't actually added in any order because I've found that random questions tend to bring back more varied memories and form more associations. I'd think that you would get the best resuls by spending time with your Mom, filling out the book together while working through memories. Try it, and see how it enhances and deepens your relationship! My strongest hope is that this book will become a treasured family repository of memories, to be kept and cherished long after Mom or Grandmother are gone. Enjoy the extra Mom time you get while filling out this book!"
