Why this legacy matters
Stories are how families remember who they are. A story retold over the years passes on courage, humor and values in a way children remember.
How your family can continue it
- Choose a story that shows what you believe.
- Write it down or record yourself telling it.
- Ask that it be told when a new generation is ready to hear it.
Ways to make it your own
- ✦Explain the lesson in one sentence at the end.
- ✦Include the funny details; they are what people remember.
- ✦Let each storyteller add their own reflection.
