(Newswire.net — September 17, 2013) Boise, Id — Have you ever picked up an old photo from the family photo albums and wondered, “Who are these people?” You flip the photo over, hoping for a name, a place or a date, and find…nothing. Whatever meaning such photos had at one time are entirely lost. There are so many wonderful, even incredible stories of family, love, courage, and happiness that disappear from us each day.
The loved ones that leave us take their stories and their history with them. Indeed, they take our history with them. For everyone, there comes a day when we wonder, where do I come from? Intuitively, we know that we are the product of 100’s of years of family. We look for inspiration, validation or even hope in the past. How did my parents keep the family together? How did my grandparents survive the depression? What store of strength did Great Grandmother access as she crossed the plains in a covered wagon, bound for the unknown? These are stories of grace, courage, love, inspiration that must be preserved for the generations. These stories offer hope and strength.
After the death of his parents, author and founder of The Chronicle Of…, Brian Doke of Meridian, Idaho, set out to write their life stories. But the more he wrote, the more he realized how much he didn’t know. Their stories had disappeared with their passing. Brian still regrets that he didn’t document the stories of his parents, and upon speaking to friends, he discovered that his regret was an all too common sorrow among families. It was with this realization that Brian dedicated himself to helping other families preserve their life stories before it’s too late.
