We often look at old family photos and see the faces we love, but we miss the context. We see the smile, but not the reason behind it. We see the house, but not the life lived inside it.
Your parents’ stories are the prologue to your own life.
That funny anecdote about how they arrived in Australia, the tale of their first job, or the history of the family home—these are the threads of identity. In the rush of daily life, we often assume we will have time to ask about them later. Picture This Chat ensures these conversations happen now, capturing the wisdom and reflection that might otherwise be lost.
One of the most powerful questions we ask during our sessions is: "What is one thing you hope your grandchildren understand about this time in your life?".
By recording these answers in your parents' own voice, you are creating a priceless resource for the future. You are giving your children—and their children—the chance to know their ancestors not just as names on a family tree, but as living, laughing people with advice to share.
