I love this. I adored my grandmother and I always did this with her. As she got older many people stopped listening to her but we shared a respect for each other. Still miss her!

For me, it is my mother. �Tragically, she is losing many of her stories too. �Each week she remembers less than the week before. Painful process for both of us. �The only way to survive, is to be in the present moment.

  Have you considered recording some of them? Even the recorder on most smart phones would work. I do personal history work and I know how valuable these can be to people later. My thoughts are with you. This is very difficult indeed.

    I have never recorded her voice but I do write her stories down. I think she would be intimidated by the recorder. She is very stubborn about certain things! Thank you for the idea though. Perhaps I” try it.
