Stories ... Stories ... Stories
Every family has them. Some are sad; some are funny. Some are poignant, some you might rather forget. Stories. You probably heard them from your mother. Stories about when she was young. Stories about her life. You laugh with her when she shares a funny story, and watch that tear in her eye when she remembers a sad one. These stories made her the person she is today.

How wonderful to be able to share these stories with your children, and for your children to share the stories with their children. Your mother's grandchildren would be able to catch a real glimpse of their grandmother from these wonderful stories passed down through the generations.

Write your family's stories down ... pass them along. Your family's history is your history. Don't let it be lost or forgotten.
