We Write to Preserve our Histories

“We write to preserve our histories. We write to express who we are and what we value, to mark our unique place in the world, to be witnessed by others, to build community, to be remembered. If our lives are to have lasting meaning, we must use them as a sacred link, consciously connecting the past and the future. Your legacy will nurture your loved ones. Your written words will fill th...e holes in their hearts and the gaps in their histories. They will know and remember you through your stories. Your values will encourage and inspire them. Your blessings will teach them love. Today more than ever our loved ones and the world need our wisdom. We have an obligation to record our personal values, family stories, and express our love. As we do, we link the generations, strengthen families, and the very fabric of civilization.”
