Transcript

Questions you need to ask your parents & grandparents before it's too late. What I'm about to say is gonna make you really uncomfortable. As a family historian, every single person who I've worked with whose parent or grandparent has died has regretted not asking them certain questions before they pass. One day your parents and grandparents will not be around anymore. That's exactly why I created this family heirloom and keepsake. This is a time capsule journal where your loved ones can write their entire life story. This time capsule journal has every question and prompt you should ask your loved one. It's meant to be given as a gift to your parent or grandparent, also designed to be a beautiful family heirloom. There's a pocket in the back for mementos and photos. There are also dedicated pages for photos, also a family tree and a family history section, a recipe section in case you need it. There's also a future generation section where either you or your descendants can write in your own stories and thoughts. I'm not just a family historian, I'm also an interior decorator, a three-time interior author. You can tell the love and detail that went into the design of this journal. Ask questions now before it's too late. I sold out a few days ago, but if you back order on my website, you'll be the first to get it when a new stock comes in.
