Questions to ask · For the next generation · for your Grandparents

What would you like to say to me that you've never said out loud?

Why this question matters

These answers become the page a family reads again and again. Ask gently, give time, and let them write it in their own words.

Ask it on a quiet afternoon, give time for the answer, and write down the small details. That is where the story lives.

From the journal

Keep their answers in one book.
