Every life is a spellbinding story. If you don’t believe that, sit and talk with someone over the age of sixty. Ask questions about childhood, occupations, decisions, and obstacles. Experiences may have been difficult—even tragic—but they take on a singular beauty in the retelling. Even the most ordinary of lives has its elements of drama, perseverance, and humor. How many generations have read the recollections of Samuel Pepys to enjoy the flavor of seventeenth-century England?

I urge you to keep a journal, make voice recordings, do video sessions, maintain a diary—whatever it takes to keep those memories from slipping away. From the beginning until the end of time, there will never be another life exactly like yours. Celebrate your uniqueness and for yourself, for your children, for generations not yet born, tell your story.
