    For Father's Day, my daughter's gift to me was a one-year subscription
    to a site called Storyworth.com She wants me to write my memoirs and after the period of one year she will get a hard copy of the book ad so will I. I called my daughter the night that this happened and she suggested that I include this in the book. I have already written this powerful chapter.

    What a thoughtful (and great) idea! I'm gonna check that out myself,
    thanks for mentioning it.

    My sister gave my father one of those a year or two ago. He finished it
    this year. The end product is very nice! He was worried initially about
    not having enough to write about but, in the end, he and my sister actually
    had to edit some out in order to stay under the page limit!

    Don't be surprised if the same happens to you. ;)

    I am sure that it can happen. My daughter has a lot of questions about my childhood.
    If I wasn't so old, I would be able to remember them. :(
