This is a review for Stories for My Grandchild: A Grandmother’s Journal I was sent to review. I would like to let you know the thoughts in this review is mine and mine alone.
I’m so terrified I may not live to see my grandchildren being born because my mom died when she was in here 50’s. Yes, I know I’m telling my age but I am there as well.
Being a older mom when Charlie was born he is only 11 now we have a while until Charlie will think of having a child of his own. Which means David and I may not be around.
To make sure Charlie remembers me and stories from my life he would be able to share with his children. I will be able to give Charlie
Stories for My Grandchild which is published by a Author and Blogger Honey Good.
I just I had knew about Stories for My Grandchild when my mom was here because she could have filled Stories for My Grandchild out for Charlie. Charlie could have shared Stories for My Grandchild with my niece and nephew who doesn’t remember my mom.
Once David saw Stories for My Grandchild David asked me if his mom would be able to have Stories for My Grandchild. I said no, I was going to fill Stories for My Grandchild out for Charlie’s children.
I let David know he should order a copy of Stories for My Grandchild for his mother for Mother’s Day. Then I let David know I planned on ordering a copy for my sister to share with Charlie.
Before you ask no, Charlie isn’t Debbie’s grandson but this way Charlie would have two different accounts of things our family did and having Debbie fill out a book as well will allow Charlie to learn about his Aunt Debbie as a child and he can share the book with Debbie’s grandchildren Lily and Jason.
Charlie and I sat down to look through Stories for My Grandchild. Charlie and I loved the illustrations and the sayings or quotes they have printed inside.
I’m printing out the pages and changing mom to dad so David and his dad and my father can create a book for Charlie about there lives which Charlie can share with his children.
There was a book marker inside Stories for My Grandchild which I have sitting on my desk to remind me everyday to write in Stories for My Grandchild. I have been having Charlie read the prompts to me.
My hands have been shaking a lot and writing is hard for me Charlie help me fill in Stories for My Grandchild and working together has brought us closer together. I’ve been able to share things with Charlie about my life he didn’t know.
Using Stories for My Grandchild Charlie is able to practice his reading, writing and spelling. Then other day Charlie asked me if I could help him create other novels like Stories for My Grandchild to give to his sisters and brothers so Charlie could get to know them better.
All I can say about Stories for My Grandchild is I was BLESSED when I was asked to review Stories for My Grandchild and Stories for My Grandchild has changed our lives in so many ways. I can’t wait to see if Honey Good publishes other novels because I would like to purchase them as well.
