A couple of days ago I spent nearly a whole morning working on tidying up documents on my computer. I had been looking for a particular document on the computer and realised that I had a lot of “stuff” on the computer that I no longer needed. I guess it was a bit like cleaning out a filing cabinet.
I did get rid of a great number of documents but while doing that I discovered documents that I had forgotten about. One folderr of many documents is my mother’s book of memories. When my mum died I scanned the whole book,105 pages, so that each member of the family would have a copy of what my mum had written. The scanned pages were put on a CD. I knew I had the scanned document on the computer but it was a while since I last looked at it.
What lovely memories it brought back.
Just the first page starts you on the journey of her memories.
Although I don’t have the physical copy of the book I can still read it when ever I want to and it is here for my children and grandchildren when they want to look at it.

I know 105 pages are a lot but you may want to print them out and place in a binder. It would be one more way to preserve this book. Also I noticed that it is in cursive and you may want to make a print edition. Just some thoughts. I wish I had something like that from my parents or grandparents.
Thank you for your suggestions. Those are good ideas to print out a copy or to type up the journal. I think I will type it up so it is a little easier to read.
Oh that is lovely.
I think I am lucky that my mum kept such a journal.
