Storyworth book
Two years ago, Mom and I started on a one year project to capture stories about her life. This project began during the return leg of a driving trip in April 2022 with Mom and my wife, Karen, to visit Mom’s eldest grandchild (our son), Tor and his partner, Amie. Somewhere in Pennsylvania, Mom mentioned that her friend was writing her autobiography. Hearing this offhand mention, Karen quickly Googled and found the Storyworth website. Karen wasted no time in signing her up as a Mother’s Day present. The service is a one year subscription that sends out one question per week for a year and compiles the story answers into a book.
Because Mom didn’t have a computer, she wrote out answers to all the questions long-hand and mailed them to me. She later shared that she marked up her first draft and rewrote every page so I could more easily read them. She also sent many photos to go along with the stories (chapters) which I included in the book.
