A Book of Memories for My Grandchildren

A book of memories for my grandchildren is an exciting new concept in South Africa. It is a book that a grandparent can complete, fill in and give to his or her grandchild(ren). Essentially, the book is a record of the events that took place in the grandparent's life. The questions in the book that the grandparent must answer, give a picture of the personality, characteristics and life of the grandparent. There are questions about the grandparent's childhood years, family history (a family tree can be completed), his/her years as an adult, the wedding day, as well as questions about general aspects of his/her life and also a section where the grandparent's opinions on some issues are asked. There is ample space given to make the book personal and photographs, recipes, and even the grandparent's signature will make the book a precious keepsake and memento. Sometimes we neglect to ask our grandparents about their lives and if they are no longer there, we realise it is too late. Now grandchildren can have a tangible book full of memories that can be passed on from generation to generation.
