REVIEW:
Whilst I tend to review books that are already written, I’ve decided that I feel strongly enough to not only recommend this title but thought that it is such a caring and sharing gift that other people had to be told about them.
Each journal is set for a specific person be it your Mum, your Dad, your sister/brother or even Grandparents. It gives you the chance to get some of your own personal family moments written down by asking the person who it’s gifted to their memories with carefully considered questions such as:
What is your earliest memory?
What is your favourite Childhood game/toy?
What was the first record you bought?
Alongside questions such as What Interesting Information do you have about other people in our family?
As well as lots of other questions that the person for whom it’s meant for will treasure. Usually when things like this are considered it is too late to get the memories and you have to build them from what you recall. This way you get that person’s thoughts, emotions and feelings that can be treasured by the family for a long time, allowing grandchildren, great grandchildren to get a chance to know those who have gone before.
It really is a magical offering and a gift that I can’t praise highly enough. So get yours now, get those memories down and help to give your family the gift of knowledge that could be lost sooner rather than later.
