When my grandfather turned 96, we worked together on something that turned out to be one of the most meaningful projects of my life—his autobiography, Covering a Lifetime in Sports. 📖 It wasn’t just a book; it was decades of wisdom, grit, and heart tied up between two covers. My kids helped too—Lucas even dove into the design and formatting of the book cover. It was a true family project, and when we held that first printed copy in our hands, it felt like we were holding history.

I’ll be honest, though—it took a lot of dedication. Hours of organizing stories, fact-checking details, and making sure it truly reflected who he was. And while I wouldn’t trade that process for anything, I’ve often thought about how many other family stories we risk losing because not everyone has the time, patience, or energy to pull a whole book together.

That’s why when I came across Remento, I immediately thought, where was this when we were writing Pop’s story?

What Makes Remento Different

• It’s incredibly easy to use. Even for grandparents who still ask where “the Google” button is.

• No writing needed. Just talk, record, and let Remento do the rest.

• A full year of guided prompts. No one is staring at a blank page wondering where to start.

• The end result? A beautifully printed hardcover book—personal, emotional, and real—for just $99.

This is more than a service; it’s a way to capture someone’s voice, their laughter, their pauses, their unique way of telling a story. And that’s something paper alone can’t always do.

Why It Matters to Me

After finishing Pop’s book, I’ve been feeling the tug to preserve stories from my parents and in-laws too. I’ve realized how much history they each hold—stories about childhoods before smartphones and streaming, about how holidays were celebrated, about sacrifices they made that we never even knew about.

One of my favorite memories from writing Pop’s book was sitting with him as he told me about the first time he ever got to announce a game. His eyes lit up, and suddenly I wasn’t just hearing history—I was there with him in that press box. That’s the kind of moment I want my kids (and their kids) to be able to experience, even long after we’re gone.

With Remento, instead of me scrambling to organize and edit, my parents can just share their stories in their own words. We’d get to focus on listening and reliving those memories instead of worrying about deadlines or layouts.

Family stories are like heirlooms—you can’t buy them, and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Pop’s autobiography taught me that preserving history isn’t just about the past—it’s about creating a bridge to the future.
