Covid was a challenging time for many, especially the elderly. The first chance I got after things started to open up, I jumped on a plane and flew to Florida to visit with my grandparents, it had been a while. I don't remember where the inspiration was to bring my camera and film this came from, but I knew my grandfather would tell me the family history from time to time. Turns out, this was one of the last chances I had to capture it. Now they are both gone, and I am so grateful that I had the opportunity, the foresight, and the time to record and edit this together.
This is not the complete family history, but it's what we had time for, and what came to mind as he told the story. Apologies to any who were left out.
If you still have your grandparents around, I encourage you to sit down with them in a quiet space, set up your phone, and start recording. Tripods are cheap, and your phone camera is plenty adequate, just sit down, hit record, and let your grandparents talk. Capture it all, trust me, you will appreciate it later as I do.
