While you are working on everyone else\u2019s leg of the tree, you can write some amazing stories about yourself.<\/p>\n
If your parents are already gone, start writing out all those great memories you have of them. It may not be something you can just sit down and write just like that! But as those memories come (and they will) – write them down.<\/p>\n
I was out walking a little while ago and took some pictures of all the wildflowers around my mother\u2019s house. She loved wild flowers and birds. She would just sit on the front porch and listen to the birds singing and love every minute of it. Those type memories cannot be replaced or captured in a family tree unless you plan a way to include them.<\/p>\n
I usually take photos of all the things my mother talked about that meant a great deal to her. I add the photo with a caption.\u00a0 That gives the reader a sense of what the person was really like.<\/p>\n
