Think of all those questions you wished you had asked a certain relative before they died and that now you are unable to ask. Remind yourself how frustrated you feel.
Now take that frustration and think of a living relative who could answer some of those questions, similar questions, or different questions. Ask that relative those questions before they pass.
Take your regret about the answers you didn’t get and use it to motivate you to get the answers you still can.

A thought for future generations: think of the questions you wished you had asked a deceased relative and write down your answers to the same questions about yourself.
Ann,
My thoughts, too!
I had the same idea as Ann and Kat.
