Because a pet is more than a companion; they're part of the family.
Unconditional love. Companionship. Purpose. Adventure. Our pets give us the greatest gifts we could imagine and trust us with their lives and their hearts. Because You Were Mine is a meaningful guided journal that invites pet owners and anyone with a special animal in their life to chronicle your journey together. Whether your best friend has fur, swims in a tank, eats crickets for breakfast, or lives in the barn out back—you can celebrate all of the joy they've brought to your life.
With over 300 thoughtful prompts crafted by bestselling author Jeffrey Mason, this journal helps you document your favorite memories of your pet—from quiet moments of rest together, to the great adventures you'll never forget.
Why pet parents will treasure this journal:
- Prompts that celebrate their life and love: From the moment they joined the family to the day you say goodbye, this journal will help to treasure every special memory.
- A thoughtful and timeless gift to share: Gift this journal to a pet owner in your life—because nothing is better than when someone validates the love for a pet!
- Crafted with love: From the Hear Your Story® team, inspired by our founder's mission to preserve his father's memory and legacy.
Hear Your Story® was founded as a heartfelt response by our founder to losing his father to Alzheimer's. Our journals are a commitment to safeguarding family legacies and a testament to the belief that every life is a story worth telling and preserving.
Designed to be cherished forever, Because You Were Mine is more than a journal—it's your way of saying "thank you" and "I'll always remember" to the pet who will always have your heart.
Jeffrey Mason is the creator and author of the bestselling Hear Your Story series and is the founder of the company Hear Your Story. In response to his own father’s fight with Alzheimer’s, Jeffrey wrote his first two books, Mom, I Want to Hear Your Story and Dad, I Want to Hear Your Story in 2018. Since then, he has written over 25 books, been published in three languages, and sold over 500,000 copies worldwide.
Jeffrey is dedicated to spreading the mission that the little things are the big things and that each of us has an incredible life story that needs to be shared.
