Memorial Day Memory Project
by Brenda Hyde
While Memorial Day is a time to honor our heroes,
veterans and the family members that we have lost,
it is also a time to embrace our memories of them.
This Memorial Day take time out with your family to
share memories of family and friends who are no
longer with you-celebrate their life, and the moments
you had with them. Help your children to know them
and to feel connected to them through your memories.
Select a few photographs, letters, postcards or other
mementos of your loved ones and arrange them in a
collage style on white paper. Take it to a copy center
and have enough copies made for each person in the
family-including kids and grandkids. Using the computer
write a letter that shares your memories of the family
members that have passed away.
Hand these out at your Memorial Day gathering or mail
them if you can't get together. Ask each person to share
their own memories and return them to you. By starting
this gathering of memories you can add to it and eventually
put the sheets together for a special family memory book.
Don't let time go by without doing something to keep your
family's memories alive for future generations. Memories
and traditions help our children discover who they are and
where they come from.
