Today, on Armistice Day, we take a moment to remember those who served with courage, commitment, and sacrifice. These photos are of James Gleeson (Granddad) and Jack Gleeson (Dad) who served in World War I and World War II. Their photos speak volumes, but how insightful it would be to have recorded their stories—their experiences, struggles, and triumphs. directly from them.
At Chats with Pat, we’re dedicated to preserving life stories, creating a space where people,s, families, and loved ones can share their journeys with authenticity and dignity.
Thank you to all who have served and those who continue to serve. Today, we remember, and we thank them.

Today is Jenny and my 27th wedding anniversary. Back then, I had no idea that Chats with Pat would be a thing, let alone my job. We have chalked up a few adventures during this time, good times, bad times, fantastic times, all with a story. I have conducted chats with couples who have racked up more than 50 plus years of creating stories together. What stories have your parents got? Chats with Pat, recording life stories.

People often make the comment “I don’t have a story” and the truth is every-one has a story and family and friends are fascinated by the lives lived it what we might term ‘days gone by’. In recording your story or the story of a loved one you have a unique first-hand account of your culture and history. Leaving a recorded history of your life can be an important gift to yourself and family. Chats with Pat, recording life stories.
