Everyone has a story to tell. Since the beginning of time, storytelling has been used to explain our existence, preserve cultural history and honor our ancestors. The repetition of these stories brings about a powerful connection to who we are and why we are here. It is important for all of us to give ourselves permission to reminisce, whether it is in our grief or to record family histories for future generations.
