They will feel these emotions too.
Who was there? What were they doing? What was most important to them?
How did they feel?
(They will be like me in that living room: mesmerized.)
Where was I?'
What was happening?
Where was that?
'Who is this person?
I'd ask:
One of my fondest memories of being a kid is sitting in our family room, voraciously looking through photo albums.
My dad had built cabinets that were wall to wall, full of them. I'd sit there for hours going through them page by page.
1. I am a book nerd, and not afraid to admit it. Getting lost in a story is something that will never get old.
2. I believe gently scraped knees and dirty toes are an integral part of childhood. I always say they're a sign of exploring and having fun. That nostalgia from my own scraped knees as a child - and the freedom they represent - is strong.
3. I've been obsessed with legal dramas since I was little. My sister and I would stay up late and our dad would let us watch Law and Order. It was the best, and likely fostered my obsession for true crime stories.
4. I have a collection of all my old hotel key cards. They're sort of like souvenirs or postcards to me.
5. We have the sweetest 13 year old chocolate lab, Ellie. She thinks she's still a puppy and we don't really tell her otherwise.
My sweet little family
