A Gift That Begins the Moment You Give It.
1. Your parent or grandparent receives a thoughtful announcement on your chosen date (perfect for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions!) that their life story will be preserved in a beautiful way.
2. Each week, they receive a gentle question that helps them share their memories, wisdom, and family stories. From cherished traditions to life lessons, every question is designed to bring out meaningful memories.
3. The magic happens weekly - their stories are shared with you and other family members through email, creating precious moments of connection and discovery. Many families tell us these weekly stories become treasured moments of learning about their parent's life.
4. When all stories are collected, we'll transform their memories into a beautiful printed book - a priceless family keepsake to be passed down through generations.
Give them the joy of sharing their life story while giving your family the gift of preserved memories.
