    After we are gone, is anyone interested in who we were and what we did?

    Mr. Ed, IMHO the point is not whether we think our life experiences are important, but whether others consider them important. I am willing to let others be the judge of that. What may be unimportant to us, may be life-changing for others. One thing is for sure. If I take my experiences to...

    Couldn't agree more. My granddaughter is going to record a snippet of my voice and add it to my page. A friend who told us about this website added his departed wife's answering machine voice so that her grandchildren could hear a grandmother they never knew.:cry:

    Jules, That's what started my search for a way to preserve my life's experiences. One of my children's doctors wanted the family,s medical history and he had no idea what mine is. So, my online forever page will have a section devoted just to my and my parent's medical history.

    Great attitude, great story! That's the kind of story that needs to be saved so that someday long in the future it will bring a smile to the face of someone that’s having a bad day. Kudos to you.

    RuthAnne, I could not agree more! While it would be nice to be remembered, the main reason for leaving my story is in hopes that my life's experiences might in some way contribute to helping someone better enjoy life.

    We don't have to tell our secrets, just our normal life experiences. In my case, a couple of secrets will be exposed after I am gone, not because they are bad, but because they are a little embarrassing 🤫

    That's a primary reason I'm doing it too!

    Your family history sounds exciting! I want my future family members to enjoy the stories I remember. That is a primary reason I want to preserve them in a safe easy-to-find place. For me, recalling my family stories brings long-gone family members back to life.:)

    Hi hollydolly, I agree that unless we record our memoirs in a permanent easy-to-find place, we become nothing more than a name and two dates (I got that from the website :). And if my experiences can help someone better understand themselves or help them through tough times, then it is...

    I found a website where I can leave an account of my life's journey. As I get older, my one regret is that I did not find out more about my relatives' lives. I am thinking current and future family members might appreciate knowing, for better or worse, what kind of person I was and how I...
