WRITING
YOUR LIFE'S STORY
Don’t think you can write a story?
How about the letters you used to write
to family and friends?
Weren’t they your stories?
Or, what about those long phone calls
made to bring someone up to date on
what’s going on in your life? Just
another type of “story”.
You may be the only one left who can
relate family stories! Time flies!
Don’t keep your family history in the
dark!
