I have been doing Storyworth for three years now. Life is all about moments. Storyworth has nudged me into renewing very old relationships, and getting information that has been helpful in building a timeline as well as regenerating some great laughs.

I lost my Mom Thanksgiving Weekend 2023. She was pretty amazing at everything. I captured her story (92 years of it) on audio or video every chance I got. Thank you for unlocking the recipe, sharing your Mom with us, and inspiring us to bring our best to the table we set.

My condolences. You are wise to have captured her story. In the 20 years since my mom died, I find myself with so many questions unanswered.

Anne, what a sweet reminder to immortalize precious moments with loved ones. I wish I had more videos of my mom. One of the few I have is the VHS tape (!) I recently discovered—ironically, it’s a clip of her on QVC promoting her cookbook some 20 years ago!

Happy Mothers Day Anne! I agree that being a grandmother (Mimi in my case) is mothering at its best! We lost my mother a few years ago to congestive heart failure. She often expressed regret at not being able to go to college because her father didn’t believe in it for girls. She wasn’t much of a cook, but loved baking. One of my fondest memories is making nut horn cookies with her and my dad every Christmas.

That’s a lovely memory, Susan. Many women like your mother didn’t get the college opportunity. My mother went to college for two years, but she had to drop out and work to help make ends meet for her family. She always underestimated her abilities. Happy Mother’s Day with all its wonderful memories. ❤️
