Heritage is often more then just our own experiences, it may include the collective memories of our parents, grandparents,
friends and significant others. These are the roots of our heritage, the seeds of our identity. These powerful elements of
our heritage are priceless when we know them, feel them, remember them, and pass them on.
With the passing of time taking our memory each passing year, every month and every moment our precious memories are
fading into the forgotten; things that we never want to forget become buried and lost.
Our memories of events, people, feelings and emotions of our lives give meaning and significance to our life experience.
When we loose those memories we loose the meaning and significance, the things that make us who and what we are; our heritage.
Our lives are full of people we love. But as time goes on the stories and significance associated with those people fade
unless someone captures the stories.
When heritage fades so does our significance, our meaning, our character and our culture.
Who will tell your children, or their children after them about their heritage?
