5 Questions To Ask Your Parents or Grandparents This Week. Week 1

I am so grateful I took the time to interview my grandma before her passing. When I first started asking her questions about her life growing up, she was very hesitant and would frequently say "we were seen and not heard in my day". As sad as that is, it was also true. She lived a life of not expressing herself and not asking questions. However, I wanted more than anything to gain a deeper knowledge about her life, so I started small. Each week I would call her on the phone and talk about how her week, then I would start asking questions about her life growing up. I found that five questions a week, was the magic number, any more than that was too much for her. Over time, and unbeknownst to her, grandma's life story was written by those simple questions each week.

START NOW!! You'll be so grateful you did this!!
