I just finished catching up on all the Theme of the Month posts. Beanies have so many amazing stories. It made me realize how little I know about my own family history. My grandparents never really talked about their pasts and now I’m wondering what stories they might have been able to share with me.
I realized this weekend that my dad is losing his memory. Its not bad, but its hard and its more than a little scary. But my next project in regards to family is to take some time and record him telling some stories. Especially the ones that hes told me dozens of times over the course of my life. When the time comes that he wont be able to do those things anymore, I’ll still be able to pull those out. I have exactly two memories of my mom saying my name.
Families are fascinating things.

I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s such a good idea to record his stories though.
