Questions to ask · Family · for your Grandpa

How is being a grandpa different from being a father?

Why this question matters

These are the memories you were there for but too young to remember. Hearing them from your grandpa fills in the start of your own story.

Ask it on a quiet afternoon, give time for the answer, and write down the small details. That is where the story lives.

  1. What would you like us to do together that we haven't done yet?
  2. How did you feel when you found out you would be a father?
  3. What do you remember about the day your first child was born?
  4. What was my parent like as a baby and a little child?
  5. What was the funniest thing one of your children ever said or did?
