project 52:35 - keeping it real

Not only do we want to record and remember our childrens' lives, we also need to take the time to learn our family stories.  To keep them real, to keep them alive.  We are learning (thanks to my husband's initiative) about where we come from, who we come from, their stories (which are fascinating) and their deaths.  Their legacy is only kept alive if the next generation takes a Saturday afternoon here and there and disconnects from the world to learn about their world.  You have to ask questions and listen and make connections and record (because it's so hard to remember!).   It's a beautiful way to connect with your grandparents...
