The five questions people wish they'd asked a loved one before it was too late

Histography allows users to jot down their memories in an email each week and at the end of the year a hardback book will be delivered to them


When Michael McQueen's father died suddenly from a heart attack in 2004, the author discovered the true significance of written memories.
Heartbroken at losing his confidant, a then 22-year-old Michael was shattered at having never asked his father some of the most important questions in life. 
However while sorting out his beloved father's belongings in the days after his death, Michael found his 51-year-old dad Bill's journal, filled with heart-wrenching and inspirational anecdotes to keep his memory alive.
Now the 33-year-old Wollongong man, who lives in Sydney, wants to inspire other parents to write down their memories, to ensure their stories and wisdom are passed on to the next generation.

Armed with his own past and a huge interest from numerous of his friend and acquaintances, Michael created Histography, an online tool aimed at giving people the initiative to recall their most personal experiences.
While researching the site, Michael jotted down the top five questions people wish they had asked their loved ones before they passed away.

TOP 5 QUESTIONS PEOPLE WISH THEY HAD ASKED A LOVE ONE BEFORE THEY DIED

1. What is your greatest regret?
2. What were your hopes and dreams as a child? 
3. What would you like to see change in the world over the next ten years?
4. What was the most rebellious thing you did as a young person?
5. What can you remember about your first kiss?
