Photograph the Things

Sometimes the smallest thing holds the biggest memory.

Before these objects are packed away or given away, take a photograph. You do not need a nice camera. A phone in ordinary daylight is enough.

  • Grandma's mixing bowl
  • Granddad's fishing pole

Surprise Me With Something Good

In your own private space, anything marked sensitive or “don't surprise me with this” is never shown here.

Questions worth sending to somebody

These are public questions. Private family memories are never shareable unless you deliberately change that.

  • What did your mother cook better than anybody?

  • What was your father's favorite saying?

  • Who was your best friend when you were 16?

  • What did you do on Saturday mornings?

  • Who taught you to drive?

  • Where did you meet Mom?
