You will never comprehend the amount of gratitude I have for this item right here. My grandmother is 94 years old, and suffered a heart attack two Sundays ago. She is barely hanging on. Now on oxygen, and struggling, and I'm shaken and broken from knowing the minutes I have left with her in this world. This item, I purchased before this happened, about 3 weeks ago, and to be honest I thought it was prep cards for an actual interview, not a family interview. Divine intervention and angels, have pulled a fast one, and this COULDNT HAVE BEEN MORE BLESSED UPON ME, because I used the cards and got the most incredible out come I could have ever wished or asked for. The most intimate and memorable and beautiful moment with my grandmother in her final days. Something that the whole family will forever thank me for and cherish, and all the future ones, because now they can know the beautiful women whom raised me; and have an idea and presence, in their lives, of this incredible being who shaped their family and past. BEST GIFT MONEY CAN EVER BUY!! do it for you, for them, for the future, for each other. You'll never know what you will discover and learn, and record it, please. You'll cherish it always. It's worth every moment, the tears the laughs, the fun, and the memories. It's a gorgeous set, with so much detail and work put into it. High quality; and beautiful. Worth every penny, best value for the money, ever I highly recommend!!

The Tales cards have been great fun for our family!

TheTales cards have been great fun! It's been interesting to hear the stories behind the questions whether they are new or have been shared before. It's a great conversation starter around the dinner table that can involve the whole family. Same with the kids version! Thank you!
