It’s that time of year and the question comes up again, what do I get mom for Mother’s Day? Most moms I know, myself included, don’t need anything this Mother’s Day, but she may want to add to her already unique collection of memories you have together.
When our children were born, most of us collected items for a baby book. I have my daughter’s hospital bracelet and every card from family and friends who helped welcome her birth. The memories of that special day were precious and undeniably filled with love, and a little bit of pain. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Memories of firsts are big. First tooth, first words, first solid food, first crawl, first steps, first day of school, first books, first dance, first swim lesson, first driving lesson, first apartment, first boyfriend, first, and only, wedding, and first grandchild. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Most of my memories I viewed through a camera lens. I captured memories through countless photos and videos of every vacation, school and sporting event. You name it, I took a picture or video of it. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
