Have You Documented Your Life?

If not, perhaps you should. Why? Because, as your children or grandchildren always sure about your life or your grandmother or father or other relatives? There must be things that only you know, and so when you die, how would they ever know what really happened? It could be simply inform your children or give them an insight into your past and its heritage. Do they know some or all of the following facts about you?

  • Where you were born and those whose grandparents and where they were born,
  • Where you grew up, the house, neighborhood, your friends.
  • Where you went to school, studied what you, your teachers and classmates
  • How did you hear what your parents were like
  • what you like as child, who and how did you play with
  • As for your teenage years were like, your skills and hobbies
  • What did you do after high school, college or
  • What was your first job, or success or failure
  • How did your mother or father, when and where
  • What was in the early years, as the House of Start
  • When and where the child was born, how did it change
  • What were the early years, as for them, and you
You get

the idea. You will never be able to guess about your life and her life with you when you say it. You do not have to write a book, just jot down the basics. If they are old enough to discuss it with them and explain what you meant. You have to things, as you will recall, so that there is an ongoing dialogue that can be added to as needed. It is hard to remember that everything that has happened, then ask other people there at the time. The key is to make the plethora of events, the shape of your life to experience and on the next generation. If you do not, or who can? Is your wife or husband on every little detail of your existence, or they might even all the facts correct when you die?

Dig in your memory and refer all the important stories that you since birth. Take your time and create a chronology. You can view a list of facts or short sentences. Just do whatever works and is quite simple. Breaking it in the next few decades in your life. But realize you are the guardians of all your thoughts and you have a duty to them before it is too late. I know my mother died when I am 22 and I said, very little of my early years with her. Her parents had already died, so that an impasse, in the truest sense of the word. Although my father lived to 88, he rarely spoke about the past. So now I write a short autobiography for my daughter. I am also developing a family tree, that is clear, the next phase. If you are on your well. Then save it all, print a few copies and save on your computer and backup drive.

If you decide to wait, as the issue, you already submit, it will never do. Be active and do it for your children and their children. They love you for thinking of them, and there will be some memories you'll probably forget.
