What it is
This product is a deck of conversation cards and prompts meant to open space for meaningful talks. The focus is on inviting a father to share memories, life choices, and personal stories so families can listen, learn, and preserve those moments.
Who it is for
Best for families who want to preserve stories and make room for real conversation. It’s a gentle tool for parents, children, partners, and extended family members who want to learn more about a father’s life in a thoughtful, respectful way. It’s part of Universe Three.
A simple way to start
Bring people together, open the box, and read the prompts aloud. Use the cards as invitations for open-ended conversation: a prompt can be a doorway to a memory, a decision, or a funny story. There’s no need for a formal structure—let the prompts guide natural back-and-forth and follow the moments that feel meaningful.
Make it your own
You can adapt how you use the prompts to suit your family. Try them during a quiet evening, at a reunion, on a video call, or while recording audio for a family archive. Some people choose to take notes or save recordings so stories aren’t lost; others use the prompts as a starting place for longer conversations over time. Tailor the pace and setting to what feels respectful and comfortable for everyone involved.
