One thing that really stood out to me during this visit was my story partner’s excitement regarding the physical nature of our project. Not only having his story written out in physical form, but that he would have a physical booklet of everyone’s stories to keep. He was especially excited about the fact that he would be able to show the story he told to the people in it, specifically his best friend and her family. I think that this aspect of our project was something I really overlooked before, how the telling of stories can not only bring together the teller of the story and the person listening to it, but also the teller and the people they are telling the story about. I think this visit especially helped me realize how important a project like ours can be to people who have stories to share and the ones in their lives who populate those stories.
