Why I Love You

Porch Swing Tip of the Week: Why I Love You
 
When John, the co-founder of Porch Swing, was recently traveling on business, he read through his father-in-law’s just completed second life story book. One story that especially stuck to John’s mind was that of his wife, Jayme, as a small child tagging along with her older brother and always adding, “Me too, me too!” to all of his conversations. Though he’d heard this tale numerous times before, John could picture a fresh little Me Too, as she came to be called, with her sweet little smile, older now but still game for anything and wanting to be involved, characteristics he loves in Jayme. His mind then went to her ability to graciously apologize, another reason he loves her. “I ought to tell her,” John thought, “or, better yet, write it down. Yes, an entire chapter called, Why I Love You! And a chapter for each of our kids and each grandkid and our parents… Nobody gets tired of hearing why you love them.” 

So now, we’re suggesting that you, too, write Why I Love You chapters for the special people in your life, to include in your book, or post on your StorySite, or print out as a PDF. If you’d like to read the expanded version of John’s thought process for this topic, let us know and we’ll email it to you.

We have very much enjoyed, helping people gather, tell, and preserve their life stories over the last several years.

At this time, life has other plans for us, so we are ceasing operations at Porch Swing.

If you have any questions please contact us at info@porchswingstories.com

We recommend that you save any stories you placed on your Storysite that you choose to keep prior to December 31, 2025. (Open the chapter you want to save, hit Edit My Chapter, and copy and paste to Microsoft Word or another format.)

Thanks!
