The people who raised you won’t be around forever. Ask them the questions now.

Your parents and grandparents hold a record that exists nowhere else: what their own parents were like, how they met, what frightened them at your age. None of it is written down. It leaves when they do, which is why the time to be curious is while the asking is still easy.

You could start with something small rather than a big interview. What was your first job, what did you fight with your parents about, what song was everywhere that year. Record it on your phone if they let you.
