I wish I would of asked my mom more about her parents and her grand parents. What her child hood was like. What her favorite holiday tradition is. Her favorite childhood memory. I purchased a book for her to fill in, but never seen it, other than one time after giving it to her.

I’m going to start doing this (asking questions and writing the answers) with my husband for our son!
i asked my mom all that and wished i had not as her life was hard and not a good one as her mother died when her and my aunt (twins) were 3 days old from complications of child birth we were told and their father was killed when they were 6 and a mean abusive grandmother (their moms mother who blamed them for the lose of her daughter (their mother) raised them till they were 12 and she died and a mean aunt took care of them till they were 16 and they ran away and quit school and went to work and then at 18 they both married horrible abusive men and the rest of the story is not nice. unfortunately
not many good memories in my family.

As an amateur genealogist, I, too, wish for those stories to be retold! So many questions I would ask, so many people I would ask about. I have so many vague memories I'd like to have filled out more! The book could be a great idea! I always asked my folks to record some of their stories, but they would always say to me 'what? You think I'm going to die?' So they never did...unfortunately!
