Here’s the greatest gift you can ever give to your grandparents: A book about them! Imagine capturing the story of how they met, their early years together, and all the timeless memories that have shaped your family. A true celebration of their lives. Let’s break it down: They raised four amazing children, who went on to bless them with ten grandchildren. Now imagine each child and grandchild writing about their favorite memory—no more than 1,000 words each—of a moment they shared with them. That's 14 chapters filled with love, laughter, and cherished moments. Plus, two more chapters dedicated just to their remarkable journey together. This is more than a framed picture from a family picnic or a family tree with just dates and dashes. This is an emotional tribute, a heartfelt message from each child and grandchild telling them exactly how much they've meant over the years. It’s the story of their legacy, in their family’s own words. This is a gift they will hold close to their hearts for years to come. At Our Legacy Book Series, we specialize in capturing these memories and creating a stunning, personalized keepsake book—a treasure that will live on through generations. When’s your grandparents' next anniversary? Or maybe a family reunion? There’s no better time to start creating this unforgettable gift. Let’s make sure your grandparents receive something truly meaningful. Reach out today and let’s get your book started! Their legacy deserves to be remembered, and you have the power to make it happen.

As I reflect today, 9/12, on the anniversary of 9/11 this year, I couldn’t help but notice a steep drop in how it was remembered and discussed compared to years past. This shift troubles me because I believe it's essential that we don’t forget or trivialize such a tragic moment in history. Lives are precious, and we're all connected in this vast network of humanity, each of us striving to build community, foster connections, and improve the lives of those around us. What stands out even more vividly in my mind is not just the tragedy of 9/11 itself, but how on 9/12 we all came together. In the face of immense grief and shock, there was a sense of unity, compassion, and shared strength. We saw that when we stand together, we are capable of creating hope out of darkness. That sense of connection and humanity is something we need every day—not just after a disaster—to truly strengthen our bonds and build a better future for all. In thinking about this, I’ve also been working on keeping in better touch with my professional connections here on LinkedIn. LinkedIn often showcases mostly good news, but we all know life isn’t that simple. Everyone has bad days, but they often go unseen. I think it’s important to support each other beyond just job opportunities, offering a deeper connection and sense of community that reflects the kind of support we saw on 9/12. When we do this, we can help each other grow in ways that are truly unimaginable. Photo Credit: photographybyjrmills
