Share your life with me....

 About a year after Jeremy and I got married we found a journal called; Grandma, Tell Me Your Memories...

We gave it to my Grandma Martha for Christmas. 

Each day is a question. Some of the questions are easy. Name your brothers and sisters and their years of birth.

Some are a little more tricky to answer. What was the naughtiest or meanest thing you remember doing in school?

Some make you so happy you have down in a journal to read and read again. Do you have a good piece of advice for me?

I helped her complete the book. Her hands were crippled and writing had become difficult for her.  It was a special time for us.

Jeremy and I enjoyed the book so much we wanted to purchase one for his grandma and my grandparents. We could not find them. So we made our own. 

Using a pretty journal we hand wrote the questions for our grandparents to answer.

 

I was so happy to have my grandparents journals. During my time visiting my grandma in the hospital and hospice, I read to her. I read to her from her journal and my grandpas.

I was not able to do this with out crying at times. I know she enjoyed me reading about her life and grandpas. She smiled and laughed.

One of my favorites from my grandpa.

Tell about a school bully.

No one I could not handle ~ was his answer. 

One of my favorites from my grandma.

Tell about your first kiss.

I was 15 and Uncle Felix, Grandpa Sam and I were kidding around.

I stuck my tongue out at Felix. He chased me, caught me and kissed me.

I remember some fun times with Felix.

Do you have a special way to preserve your memories?
