I found this a unique gift

My DIL gave me one of these books when their first child was born.

It took me ages to start filling it in.

It covered all my earlier life, my childhood, schooldays, working life, meeting DH, having children.

My father died suddenly when I was 19, my own children never knew him, it was before we were married. I wrote that the day he died was the saddest day of my life.

I hope my DS reads this book one day, and thinks about that.

(Must look the book out, it was called ‘My Grandparents Life’ or similar).

I would also like to know the name of the publisher or where your DGD bought the book.
When I had a cancer diagnosis it rather focused my mind on my future...and my past.

I typed out my history on several A4 sheets which I found absorbing and also, hopefully, interesting for my AC. I also photocopied all the birth, marriage and death certificates I had for relations and anything else of interest which they may not know and put them all together for each AC. But your book Bluebelle sounds a really good idea.

What a lovely present.

How lovely. I’ve been thinking recently about how little my grandchildren know about my early life and that sounds an excellent way of padding information on to them.

Does the book have a name? I’d like to google it.
