Right now I am on a trip to visit my Grandma. My entire life I have ever only known one grandparent, because the rest of them passed away before I was born. My Grandma has always lived states away, so to be able to visit her is such a treat. My sweet Grandma is 90 years old. As I was preparing for this trip I have been flooded with amazing memories of her in my life. Then I started thinking about her life. What did I know about her? I want to know everything. I want to know what it was like for her growing up. How she felt when she got married, or had her children. How did she raise 4 children? How did she deal with losing a child? So many unanswered questions about her life, that are important to me and to the rest of our family. And then I had such a great feeling, because this is why I do this! All of these unanswered questions are the reason that I scrapbook. They are the reason that I document me, and my thoughts and feelings. They are the reason I journal about regular life. I want to remember and I want my kids to know all about me and my life. On my trip I am visiting with my Grandma and getting some of these questions answered. I can’t wait to document her life for me and our family. There is a reason why we do this… not just because it is fun and addicting! \ud83d\ude42 We do this for ourselves, for our families, for our posterity. We do this to help leave our mark and our legacy!<\/p>\n

Here is one of my favorite pages that I scrapped about my Grandma! \u2665<\/p>\n
