Dear Ginny: I just yesterday happened to run across an article online in The Guardian that started with:

It was not until Margreeth van Vliet-Smit was diagnosed with inoperable cancer in 2001 that Elma van Vliet realized how much she did not know about her own mother. She did not know what dreams and adventures Margreeth had had when she was a young woman...

It goes on to say that this experience led her to write a book  called ...

Mum, Tell Me: A Give & Get Back Book Hardcover  by Elma van Vliet  (Author)

Elma van Vliet is the creator of a series of books that address people's universal longing to know who they are and where they come from. She believes that we can make the world a better place by helping people to record and share stories and connect with others. She lives in Delft in the Netherlands.

After reading her experience I looked it up and it is available on Amazon USA and UK probably other places. I am thinking on getting one for my mom for mother's day. Here is the link to the article and a very interesting story.

Hope you have time to read and enjoy it and further that it helps you in this journey.
