Grace

Our daughter got me this as a gift. No occasion. She just wanted to know more about me. The questions are thought provoking and encourage meaningful answers. I can't help but feel closer to her now.

Hannah

Hannah

Being a new mom and having a baby boy made me want to get involved in starting my own journal too. I think it's such a great keepsake for him to have of his parents and grandparents when he gets older!

Sam

Sam

Got this for my grandparents who are now in their 70s, they absolutely love it! It's such a good pastime for them and brings up so many great memories of their life that even my own parents haven't heard!

Robert

Robert

After my wife passed, I wanted my children to know our family stories. This platform has been a bridge connecting generations. My kids ask questions about entries I've made, sparking conversations we might never have had otherwise.

Mei

Mei

42 years old

Living across the country from my parents, I worried my children wouldn't know their grandparents' stories. Now we all share a circle where we respond to the same prompts. It's like we're having family dinner conversations despite the distance.

David

David

My teenage daughter and I struggled to communicate. When we started our family journal, I discovered she had insights and thoughts I never knew about. It's given us a safe space to share when face-to-face conversations feel too difficult.

Elena

Elena

As a new addition to my husband's family, I felt like I was missing years of inside jokes and memories. Our family circle has helped me understand their traditions and history, making me feel truly part of their story.

James

I started documenting my life stories for my grandchildren. What I didn't expect was how my adult children would respond - they've been asking questions about parts of my life they never knew about. It's healing old wounds and building new bridges.
