A message to leave
What to say in a video message to your grandchildren
A grandparent's message can reach a child who is not born yet. It is a way to be at a graduation or a wedding you might not live to see, and to hand down the stories that would otherwise disappear.
Talk to them as if they are sitting across from you at any age. Keep each message short and simple, and record a few for different moments in their lives.
Who you are to them
- 01What do you want your grandchildren to know about who you are?
- 02What do you love about being their grandparent?
- 03What is your favorite memory with them, or your hope for one?
- 04What did their parent, your child, do that made you proudest?
The family and its stories
- 01Where does our family come from, and how did we get here?
- 02What is the story of our family that you do not want forgotten?
- 03What tradition do you hope they keep?
- 04Who are they named after, and what should they know about that person?
- 05What was the world like when you were young?
What you have learned
- 01What is the most important thing a long life has taught you?
- 02What do you hope they never worry about the way you did?
- 03What is worth being brave for?
- 04How do you want them to treat people?
- 05What is a small, ordinary thing that made you happy?
For the years ahead
- 01What would you want to say to them on their graduation day?
- 02What would you tell them on their wedding day?
- 03What do you want them to remember about you when they are grown?
- 04What do you hope they inherit from you?
- 05What blessing or wish do you want to leave them with?

Can I record a message for a grandchild who is not born yet?+
Yes, and it is one of the most meaningful things you can do. Speak to them directly, and set the message to be delivered on a future date or held until they are old enough.
What if I do not know what to say?+
Use one prompt at a time and just talk. You do not need a script. Your voice and your face are the gift, not perfect words.
How do I make sure they actually receive it years from now?+
