Tell Me About Yourself, Grandpa. 113+ Questions to Ask Grandpa to Get to Know Him Really
19.99 €
Grandparents are like wanderers who came from another, distant world that we hardly know anymore. Their words, habits, and ideas about life are sometimes very different from ours, and therefore have great value. They themselves are like disappearing worlds that we risk losing without ever fully understanding.
Many of us were raised by grandparents.
They had time for us that our always busy working parents lacked.
They found the right words when we couldn’t find a common language with our parents.
They came up with ways to please us when our parents thought that “there’s no point in spoiling us.”
And we found (and continue to find) peace, comfort, and the ability to look at life in a completely different way from what we are used to in our grandparents.
This book is a way to preserve for ourselves and our children at least a small part of the world of our grandparents, to prevent the thread that connects the past and future of the family from breaking, to make the family history deeper and richer.
And also to give grandfathers the opportunity to feel our sincere interest in them and their lives.
Family knowledge is an absolutely necessary thing in order not to lose ground under our feet. The further the flashlight shines into the past, the better we understand ourselves and our relationship with life. Looking deeper into our history, we can see not just the biographies of the people who brought us into this world, but also family scenarios, certain repeating patterns that can explain a lot about ourselves.
When we know those who came before us, we do not feel the emptiness behind us - and the fear of what awaits us. Whatever happens, we are in our place - among dear and close people who once lived, are already living and are just beginning to live.
