Let me offer a piece of advice to anyone whose parents are still alive: don’t wait. Think about the questions you want to ask them when it comes to themselves, their lives, their past, and then do it! Not tomorrow, not next week, but today.
I didn’t and I suspect I was pretty typical in that. Honestly, what did I care then about my parents’ lives or their past? All I wanted
