I grew up with Grandparent stories of what life was like in the 30's and the hardships and the little things that brought joy. In their shoe boxes were bits of memorabilia and pictures from those times.
Those stories have been retold but never really recorded and made into a family book ( a working project of mine as it’s important not losing our family stories before it’s too late )
Which leads me to my stories and my family that may work for your family.
One way our family is staying connected besides the phone calls and face timing is we started a Private Facebook group. This is where we send updates, upload pictures and video clips.
This FB group serves both as a way to stay connected but as a bit of a 'shoe box' ...gathering all those tid bits of our daily lives during the 2020 Pandemic.
History is happening as we are journey along and when this is over and we come out on the other side...everything will have changed. No one knows the length of time but for each family there will be markers or goal posts to reach as the weeks / months go by...to literally years. Some people say decades to recover.
Since the pictures and memories are 'parked' in one spot in your Families private FB Group it can later be downloaded and turned into a family book for the family's book shelf.
It's not too late to start yours. You can easily screen shot your posts from your personal fb feed and upload any posts you made as well upload pictures from your cell phone(s).
This is one way your family's history can be documented as we live through these times. The stories to reflect back on as we get older, the stories & pictures our children/grandchildren will share with their children.
