Preserve Your Family Stories for the Generations

2020 taught us to treasure our loved ones, so this year make sure family stories get down on paper. A new service makes that easy.

This article is sponsored by Lifetime Memoirs.

No one gets to this point in life without stories. Lots of them. They're told at holiday gatherings and reunions of college friends. They're told at weddings, anniversaries, retirements, and, we hate to say it, funerals. These tales of love, awe, irony, and triumph pass from lips to ears, lips to ears, lips to ears. One day, they may pass from memory.

That's why stories of our lives beg to be written down.
