Letters to you, and what I'm learning

“A letter to them about a time in your own life you've never told them about.”

Why this question

A chapter of your story that belongs to them too. Something they'd want to know, when they're ready.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·Thirty seconds is plenty. A short answer you actually record beats a long one you keep meaning to.
  • ·Say the date and their age out loud at the start. In ten years that one detail will do half the work.
  • ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.

“What did your own parents get right — and what are you deliberately doing differently?”

Want to keep the answer in their voice?

One day you’ll want to hear this answer, not just read it. Ask the question tonight and record what comes back — thirty seconds at the foot of the bed is enough.
