A relative tells you the same story virtually every time you see them. You can almost quote them word for word. You will never forget that story they have told you what seems like a thousand times.

Then they die. The story is forgotten. If you are lucky there are snippets that you remember. Usually there’s not enough to even write down.

So record it while they are telling it. Don’t wait.

Because later you will wish you had.
