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.

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.

What was the happiest moment of your life?
I would have to say it was my 75th birthday party. It was a complete surprise to me and it was a very special day. The weather was perfect and best of all everyone I knew was there to celebrate with me, friends and family many of whom traveled a great distance to join the celebration.

What was the happiest moment of your life?
The day I got married – June 3, 1967. I’d gone 40 years and I had been afraid of girls (chuckle). She (Ethel) was just bubbly, outgoing, and had a wonderful disposition. She was a beautiful person to be around.
