Moving Time Can Be the Perfect Time

"My parents are going through a big life transition and I think it's the perfect time for them to get their memories down in one place."

Katrina got it.

After a lifetime in Michigan, her parents were moving to be near her in Wisconsin. They were sad to leave their friends and nervous and excited about this next chapter. But first, they had a month in limbo before they could move move.

Katrina believed that her parents would relish the chance to reflect on their lives. It would be gratifying. Plus they had time on their hands.

Now really was the perfect time.

Sure enough, recalling their key memories and all the people in their lives, was a settling experience for Katrina's parents. As their belongings made their way across state lines on a flatbed truck, we used the time to write their love letters to their family.

The gift Katrina gave her parents helped kick off their new chapter with a spark. And frankly, they were relieved knowing that they had preserved these stories. They didn't have to think about that anymore. Mission accomplished.

Now it's time to unpack those boxes!
