Are there questions you'd like to ask about her life - growing up, meeting and dating your Dad, having her and raising her children?
What would you like to know about her parents -your grandparents- and her grandparents?
Tell her that now that you have a little girl, you'd like to pass on those stories to your child.

(I can't tell you how many people wish they had asked their parents some of these questions before the parents were gone.

Then ask her if she'd mind if you called every few days or so.
