Everybody has a story .. what's yours?

Our lives are filled with stories.

Everyone has a story, but many stories are lost over time.
You’ve probably thought about the importance of preserving your family’s stories.
But perhaps for one reason or another, you haven’t followed through. Let me help.

I can transform you or your loved one’s stories into a priceless gift for your family.

In the beginning
Now I feel real sorry when I think of all the knowledge, wisdom and stories that have been forever lost with the deaths of my grandparents.

Be smarter than I was:

Go talk to Grandma and Grandpa, Mom and Dad, and other relatives and friends.
Discover and remember what they have to say about what they learned growing up. 
By keeping their stories alive you make them, and yourself, immortal.

- From Bud, Not Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis

Heirlooms

Time never changes
The memories, the faces
Of loved ones, who bring to me
All that I come from
And all that I live for
And all that I’m going to be. 
My precious family
Is more than an heirloom to me.- Amy Grant

Treasures in a Box 

If only someone had taken time to tell who, what, where, when,
These faces of my heritage would come to life again.
Could this become the fate of the pictures we take today?
The faces and the memories someday to be tossed away?
Make time to save your pictures, seize the opportunity when it knocks,
Or someday you and yours could be the strangers in the box.
