Questions You’ll Wish You Asked: A Time Capsule Journal for Mothers and Sons

This journal deepens the mother/son bond while creating a keepsake for when conversation is no longer possible. With journaling questions for Mom such as: “What have you learned from heartbreak?” “Is there a book you hope I’ll read?” “When you’re gone, what is something you’ll want me to remember you saying?” These questions will transport you from the daily routine into a time when the ordinary has been rendered sacred. Whether you’re a parent looking to leave a legacy to your child, or a child recording memories of your parent, make time for the questions you’ll later wish you asked: your future self will thank you. Commonly asked: who is this journal for? The journal provides over 100 questions for a mother to answer for her son. It makes a perfect baby shower gift for a new mother of a baby boy, keepsake gift for an aging mother or son, and thoughtful present for mothers and sons of all stages in between. Some children sit with their parents and fill out the journal while asking the questions: this invites thoughtful conversations, generational connection, and intimacy. Others choose to purchase the journal for themselves, fill it out, and later present it as a gift to their children. This journal can be an especially thoughtful gift for a mother who has lost her own mother or father, the “motherless” or “parentless” mother often deeply recognizes the importance of recording thoughts and memories for her children.
