grandparents memory book
whether grandparents live near or far, having the older generation complete a memory book creates a personal, special bond with the grandchild, as well as a cherished document that will memorialize your family's history. memory books come in a variety of formats. some grandparents enjoy telling their own stories; others might prefer to answer prompts or write a letter to their grandchild. If the grandparent has a hard time getting started, it might be fun to discuss what they might include in their memory book at your next family gathering.
