Last night I was invited to a Senior Retirement Living center to present some ideas on writing your life story to leave a legacy. I was amazed that so many of those attending didn't feel their life was important enough to anyone in their family to write about. I tried to point out how important family relationships are and especially among the generations. Grandparents are here for a specific purpose. I know mine were so important in my life especially after my father was killed in an airplane accident when I was only 5 years old. Despite each of our weaknesses, we do matter and influence one another within our families. That's what my writing books and columns is all about.
