A Gift

Dear Mom,

I have spent years being amazed by your story, and how much you have gone through to give our family so much love and happiness. I know you’ve never been one to be loud about this work you’ve done, and that you’re content seeing the fruits of your effort in my siblings and I. I started this archive to keep the history of our family, so that we may never forget the chaos and fun and challenges we’ve had. One day you won’t be sharing these stories with us, so I’d like to truly know you while I can.

The following video is my reflection following the start of this archive and what I had in my heart as I continued.
