I recently visited an assisted living facility. I met with a wonderful woman who was 91 years old. She is in good health. She had the most amazing stories...stories that only she holds. Although there are over 10 grandchildren, no one has taken the time to write her story.
If that same woman was in hospice, I wonder if the desire to write her story would be different. The words, "hospice" imply limited time. It creates a sense of urgency. In 91 years, we choose not to take the time to write the stories. Yet, we regret when we don't. If only we could set our watches, our cel phones with a reminder to set an appointment with our parents, or our grandparents to write their story.
As I sat with this wonderful woman, I pondered how I could help more people write their grandparents story. I can offer free planners. I can offer to write the stories and even sit with your family to document the story. What I cannot offer you is more time.
If you are interested in writing the story of someone important to you in your life, contact me today, not after the holidays, but today. Lisa (949) 291-2128 or lisa@cheetahlegacy.com
