Most families need background documentation of their history and milestones. The book Ancestors, Icons, and Memories inspires you to write your own family story praising and honoring your relatives.
While your progenitors (especially your parents) are still alive, ask them to remember the good times when they were young; where they went to school; who were their friends and mentors; how they selected a career path; what sports and hobbies they enjoyed; who they married and the names of their children; their major achievements and successes in life and work; and their community activities and friends, for your sake and for theirs.
Memorable stories can be retold, like possessions such as heirlooms explained with old pictures re-examined. Family relationships and their powerful and helpful network offer safe harbors in the turbulent world and protection against harsh realities.
