At a recent funeral, a grandson delivered a beautiful eulogy about his grandfather. He shared how many questions he had wanted to ask but now he will never get the chance. A friend’s mother has Alzheimer’s and she struggles knowing that her mom’s stories are lost forever.
The biggest regret I hear from people who have lost a parent or grandparent is they wish they had taken the time to ask them about their life and more importantly recorded their stories on audio or video. And what they miss most, is being able to hear their voice.
We all think there will time until there isn’t.
