Our story

Because the little things are the big things.

It’s My Story began with a simple wish, for my children to know their grandfather.

When my dad passed away in 2016, I wanted to hold on to more than photographs. I wanted my children to know his personality, hear about his experiences and discover the little moments that made him who he was. Sharing his stories was a way to keep his memory close and give them a connection to him.
