For Grandpa

StoryWorth: Document Family Memories

Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts For Everyone 1 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

The words of our elders are fleeting and priceless. Soaking up their stories each time we visit with them is the most important thing we can do to honor their legacy! With a wonderful service called StoryWorth, you can get Grandpa involved in telling his own life story in a way that will be captured forever.

Holiday Gift Guide: Gifts For Everyone 2 Daily Mom, Magazine For Families

A question about his life is emailed from StoryWorth each week and it can be answered as simply or as elaborately as desired. The answers are all compiled into what turns into a life story that you, and your children, can read and cherish for years to come. Grandpa not tech savvy? Have the questions emailed to you, have him tell you the answers (great way to hear them straight from the source!) and then later you type in the email reply that gets tucked away in his StoryWorth account. He will be thrilled to share his tales, and honored that you wish to hear and remember them.

Bonus: You can include others in on the storytelling as well! Add Grandma, yourself, and other friends and family to keep the story sharing alive!
