Grandparent memory makers

Preserving family memories works best as an invitation, not an assignment. Choose recipes, photographs or conversations the grandparent wants to share, then offer help with captions, writing or simply setting aside time together.

Start with one memory

A single recipe or photograph can be enough for a first session. Ask whether they prefer to write, talk while someone else takes notes or arrange pictures; the format should make sharing enjoyable.

Give your time with the notebook

Arrange a short visit or call and bring one photograph to talk about. Ask permission before recording a conversation, and let the grandparent decide which stories are for the family and which stay private.
