Love & Relationships
First loves, lifelong partnerships, deep friendships, and the people who left a mark.
How two people met, the day they married, the friendships that lasted a lifetime — these are the stories that defined a life but rarely get written down. These questions about love and relationships invite a parent or grandparent to tell the story of the people who mattered most to them.
Some are tender and some are funny; all of them are worth keeping. Ask them gently, one at a time, and let the answers run. Recorded by voice with Storykept, a grandmother's account of her first dance or a grandfather's proposal survives exactly as they tell it.
