Stories

Stories, memories, and family history are gifts we can give later in life. When we are unable to buy presents because we can no longer walk, or bake a cake for the people we love, we still have our stories to share. Mom's memories, formed into stories are like stones piling around the house that holds our family. They will buffer us when times are hard, enable us to conjure up lost faces, and provide a vivid backdrop of scenery painted with places we have long forgot. These frozen moments in time are ours to keep and pass along. These tiny stones remind us that piece by piece we gather, shift, then gather again.
