A
Family Legacy is a Cherished Gift
So
often we wish that the stories from the past, the stories from our
own unique family history, could be preserved and shared with all
family members for generations to
come.
Learn
how to preserve your family’s history in a printed
book!!
HOW?
Ask
your mother, your father, uncle, aunt, or any senior relative in
your family
if they would agree to be interviewed!
A
family member’s past is a rich tapestry of history, replete
with stories, which like precious artifacts, reflect each
person’s life, lessons, and special moments.
Give your loved ones the gift of memories, told through their (or
your) memory of events, big and small, that occurred as part of
their history.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to record your life story or a
family member’s life history and dreams--past and present--as
a special gift for your family--and for yourself. The result is not
only greater self-understanding for each participant, but also a
stronger bond among family members.
To
paraphrase Dr. James Birren, Pd.D. in Psychology
Today, “You
understand your life better if you share it piece by piece with
other people...Something happens during the telling that goes
beyond what is achieved by the remembering alone. New experiences
become reminders of feelings and events that we have set aside and
thought we had forgotten...as each new question builds on previous
questions.”
The result is the gift of an oral or written Legacy for a family to
cherish and remember over the generations.
