Why Should I Tell My Life Story? Reason #2
Reason #2 - You do have something to say and you can say it.
My father thought he had nothing to say. However, with just a few questions about his childhood and with my pen in hand to write down his answers, the “Life on the Farm” excerpt below was generated. I think it is interesting to read about my dad’s morning chores, his bed, and his breakfast. I think my children and grandchildren are going to appreciate it too.

Reason #1 - Each day of life is truly a gift.

READ MOREVeterans' Stories
It's Veteran's Day...a day that reminds of us the sacrifices of so many men and women. It's also a day that reminds me of the legacy that is lost when veterans' stories are not recorded.

LifeBio
You are unique. You are the only one who can describe the people, times, and places that your children and grandchildren will want to know about.

They will appreciate your memories of your parents and grandparents. Take this opportunity to tell them.

READ MOREDay 5 & 6: Joliet, IL and back to Ohio
Dad and I met Andrea Hein in Joliet, IL on Thursday morning (Aug. 5). Andrea was intrigued by the LifeBio idea and decided to write a column about it. It will appear in the Joliet Herald News on Monday. Andrea said that life had taught her...that everyone is, first and foremost, human. Each person should be treated with dignity and respect. No one is perfect. Joliet is a special town because it's the only place in the U.S. where Route 30 and Route 66 meet. Maybe someday LifeBio will make it all the way down Route 66...
READ MOREDay 4& 5: Chicago...Chicago...that wonderful town!
Later on August 3rd, Dad and I headed on I-94 from Detroit, past Kalamazoo, and on to Chicago. We were able to keep the top down on the convertible Mustang MemoryMobile as the weather improved, and we handed out LifeBio YoYos at gas stations and other stops along the way. Kids and moms & dads liked playing with a YoYo. Some said it had been many, many years since they had YoYo'd.
