Most of us think we have more time than we actually do … So many times, after my mom passed, I wished I’d asked her about this person or that event. – Stacy Monson
So true! The Memories Project began as a way to honor my father and the further I went in documenting my father’s stories, the more I realized I was missing important details. That is why I urge everyone to ask your loved ones to recount their life stories and anything else they want to share. It’s so easy now, literally a tap on a smartphone button, and you can record these precious memories.

This is a terrific idea. I came across the book Letters From Dad – many years ago and used it to both communicate with our sons as well as glean stories from my own dad. What precious memories that has preserved!
That is so wonderful, what a gift.
