Long before memories found their way into books, they lived on Bahamian front porches, around family tables, beneath shade trees, and in the quiet conversations that shaped one generation after another. Ordinary people never set out to become storytellers. They simply lived lives worth remembering.\u003cp\u003eThen, quietly, something began to disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn elder passed away. A familiar voice grew silent. A photograph lost its names. A treasured recipe survived, but the hands that first prepared it were forgotten. Little by little, families everywhere began losing their greatest inheritance, not because it lacked value, but because no one thought to ask one more question while there was still time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBefore We Forget\u003c\/b\u003e is more than a collection of stories.

Each conversation reminds us that the greatest legacies are often built in ordinary kitchens, on weathered front porches, around supper tables, and through everyday acts of kindness that echo across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than a story, this book offers a simple path every family can follow: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRemember.
