Life is not that which one lived, but that which one remembers, and how one remembers to tell it.
–Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1928-)
This is the quote found on the “Why Now” page of Alli Joseph’s Seventh Generation Stories website. Her company provides personal historian services (also known as life story-telling or oral history) to record and preserve precious pieces of yours or your elders histories for future generations to enjoy. They help clients save their life stories in narrative books (memoirs/autobiographies), family video documentaries and tributes, photo albums, scrapbooks, and much more. SGS can also craft an original family crest or other artisan-based piece for your family.
I had two great-aunts who were sisters with whom I spent a lot of happy time growing up. I deeply regret not having asked more questions and gotten more information from them before they passed away. In fact, before my last great-aunt died, she destroyed all the family photos she had. When asked why, she answered that she didn’t think anyone in the family would be interested in a bunch of old photos. Need I say how wrong she was and how I regret not having or ever seeing those photos? I think about it often and it pains me to know that pieces of my history are gone forever and not recoverable. Don’t let this happen to you.
