Tell Your Story Prefer a conversation? We're here to listen.
You don’t have to be a writer to share your story. Sometimes, it’s easier to simply talk.
Connect with one of our volunteer Story Guides by phone or video. We’ll listen, ask questions, and help capture the memories and experiences that matter to you. A loved one is welcome to join the conversation, too.
Afterward, we’ll shape your conversation into a written story for you to review and approve.
Nothing is published without your permission.
Come as you are and share what feels right. Sometimes, the best stories begin with a conversation.
Honoring the humanity behind the dementia journey. Through stories, we hope to create understanding, reduce stigma, build connection, and remind people they are not alone.

I guess maybe when I had my first child. It was really representative of a very big change in my life but I’ve had so many. Graduating from high school, graduating from college, getting my first job. I guess I should include getting married too.

Hope it hasn’t happened yet. However, I have lived a happy and charmed life; When I married the most beautiful girl I could ever imagine; When I passed my State board exams to become an Architect; when I was on 2 national NCAA basketball championship teams for University of Cincinnati (1961,62); The births of my 3 wonderful children and 6 wonderful grandchildren;
And lastly I am in good health at 79 years old.

What was the happiest moment of your life?
Thom:
The birth of my two daughters. That was the fulfilment and expansion of our marriage and creation of family. The birth of our girls brought me into a whole new realm I didn’t know existed. Becoming a father allowed me to change the cycle and truly create family.
Dianne:
The happiest day of my life was the day I married Thom.
