“I gave this book to my mother, and she actually filled it out. It is a treasure to me. I learned so much about her as a person, not just my mother. Based on the information she gave, I bought her birthday presents for crafts she always wanted to learn, cooked her favorite meals and realized how similar we are in many ways.”
“This book provides a non-threatening, thought-provoking way for older adults who are reluctant to talk about their past or just ‘can’t think of anything to say’ when you have a tape machine running.”
“I gave this book to my grandmother with a note that said, “I bought this book for you because I want the generations of our bloodline know that you were a wonderful, generous woman who knew how to live life to it’s fullest.” She loved the book and the note so much she cried! She wrote in it and gave it to me, and I drank up every word she wrote.”
“For those of us who feel that we have gained a bit of wisdom in our journey of life and who have a desire to preserve and share this wisdom – this is a great book to begin to memorialize these immortal thoughts…If you are fortunate to have your parents complete it, treat the book like fine wine, the more it ages, the better it gets. ”
“I gave 5 as gifts, everyone loves the book, all around age 65. Get one for yourself when you order.”
“I teach and speak extensively about the importance of writing personal and family history, and I always use this book as an example of one way to commit a life to paper.”
“As a genealogist, I love to have anything that will help be gain information (other than dates and locations) so they can be passed down through the generations in this age of ‘remote grandparents’.”
