Not one more thing for the shelf: a conversation that finally starts.
The moment he realizes you really want to know his life. Not one more object: a conversation that begins.
Film snapshots, faded prints, forgotten moments. The journal gives everyone a reason to open the memory boxes again and tell what's inside.
One question at a time, at their own pace. Every page becomes the conversation you always wanted to have.
Families who gave the journal, and what came back.
My dad says about ten words a day. I printed the Dad journal at Staples for his 70th and didn't expect much. Three weeks later he handed it back, every page full. He almost joined the Navy at 17 and never told anyone. I cried in the car.
My daughter gave me the Grandma journal and I thought, who wants to read about me? Then I hit the questions about the farm and my mother's kitchen and couldn't stop. I fill in two pages every Sunday. My granddaughter already asked for her own copy.
We took the My Love journal on our first anniversary trip and did one question a night. My husband remembers exactly what I wore the day we met, earrings included. Printed it at home, and it's now the book we both reach for.
Mom is 81 and her hands shake, so I read her the questions out loud on Sunday afternoons and wrote down what she said. Eight Sundays later I had a whole childhood in rural Ohio I had never heard about. My kids will read it someday.
All five journals come in the Family Collection. Print the one you need, or all of them.
She knows everything about you. But what do you know about the young woman she was before you? Her dreams, her first love, what she never dared to say.
He rarely talks about himself. Maybe he never said "I'm proud of you" out loud. Here he can write it, at his own pace, with no one watching.
Her recipes, her young years, how she met Grandpa. The stories she tells at the table, in her own hand, for you and for your kids.
The stories he told a thousand times, and the ones he never told. Give him the chance to leave them to the ones who come after him.
"What was your first impression of me?" How you met, your moments, the way they see the world and their dreams for the two of you.
Most gifts are forgotten by spring. This one gets read again in fifty years.

And you hold their life in your hands, in their handwriting. A keepsake for you, your kids and theirs.
From childhood to the letter they leave you, every chapter opens a door into their life. Here are a few of the questions waiting for them.
The My Love journal has its own 8 chapters, written for the two of you.
Real pages from the printable PDF.
The journal opens with a letter written to them, then a "You as a child / You today" photo page to see how far they've come.
"If you could go back to one place you loved, which would it be?" And a page to map every place they've called home.
"What was your relationship like with your brothers and sisters?" Plus a family tree to fill in together.
The journal ends with a letter written to you. The page people read again and again.
Most of us realize too late how little we know about the lives of the people we love most. Where they grew up, who they were at twenty, what they were afraid of, what they dreamed about.
We made Tell Me Your Story so every family can keep what really matters: the words, the memories and the way of thinking of the people they love, written in their own hand.
We're a small team, and we're the ones who answer you. Write to us, we're happy to help.

Quite the opposite. This journal is lived now, together. Most people laugh while they fill it in, and the one who gets it back cries… happy tears.
