Preserving Memories, Strengthening Bonds
At Stoirs, we believe every life is a story worth sharing. Too often, the voices of our loved ones fade with time, leaving us wishing we had asked more, listened more, and captured the moments that truly matter.That’s why we created Dad, I Want to Hear Your Story (and its sister titles) - to make sure those precious memories are never lost. These guided journals are more than just books - they’re a bridge between generations, a way to honor the past while building a stronger future.
How It All Began
It all started with a simple question: “What do you wish you had asked your parents or grandparents?” For us, it was everything. We longed to hear their childhood memories, the challenges they overcame, and the wisdom they wanted to pass down. But we realized we hadn’t made it easy for them to share.
This realization led us to create these journals, a tool to make storytelling effortless, meaningful, and lasting. We wanted something that didn’t just sit on a shelf but became a treasured family keepsake.
Let’s create something timeless, together.
Together, we can make sure the stories that matter most are never forgotten. Whether it’s your dad, mom, grandmother, or grandfather, give them the gift of being truly heard—and give yourself the gift of their memories.
