Family history photos- Some are more important than others

Ancestors, children growing up, weddings... what could you do without?

Planning ahead for the unthinkable can save your precious family memories and important documents or even ensure your business reopening. Think about intellectual property, ancestral photos, legal papers that will be difficult or impossible to replace . In business, having the right paperwork in a timely way may make all the difference in the world.

From the news… With each passing day after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami, more and more poignant stories of survivors and victims are emerging.

Immediately after the quake, Katsutaro Hamada, 79, fled to safety with his wife. But then he went back home to retrieve a photo album of his granddaughter, 14-year-old Saori, and grandson, 10-year-old Hikaru.

Just then the tsunami came and swept away his home. Rescuers found Hamada’s body, crushed by the first floor bathroom walls. He was holding the album to his chest, Kyodo news agency reported.

“He really loved the grandchildren. But it is stupid,” said his son, Hironobu Hamada. “He loved the grandchildren so dearly. He has no pictures of me!”

Grab n’ Go… planning ahead is really a good idea… whether its because of fire, water, earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes, tsunami… plan ahead. Here is a quick video of a lady’s testimonial about a home fire: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lCx-xg4BMY
