What I Really Want to Ask My Mom Before It's Too Late: Precious Life Memories for Mothers and Daughters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781708662707)

Have you ever wished you had more information about your family, where you all came from, and what life was like for your parents and grandparents while they were growing up? I know for sure I wish that

One of the biggest regrets in my life is not getting a life history from my Mother before she died. Oh, I asked her to record some things, but she "never got around to it."

I can't help but believe that if I had had a booklet like this that would give her memory prompts she might have found it a much more pleasant activity. And if I had actually been there and worked through it with her, I am sure the results would have been amazing

And she would have known just how much I cared.

Alas, by the time I came to this realization, it was too late and my precious Mother was gone.

It's my hope that you will use this book in any way that helps you. I have included over 100 questions that will help jog your Mom's memory and gives at least two pages for each question to fill out.

The questions don't have to be answered in order - but except for the very first question - What is your first memory? - they aren't actually added in any order because I've found that random questions tend to bring back more varied memories and form more associations.
