The moment she realized who was in the book.
Miranda gathered letters, photos, and video messages from the people who love her mom, then placed the finished book in her hands. This is what happened next.
In all of my decades of life, I have never received such a personal gift, so focused on my impact on the lives of so many whom I have loved.
One person started it. Everyone else was invited.
Miranda created the book and sent the link. Family and friends added their own letters and photos — and invited people Elizabeth hadn't seen in years.
Surprise, wonder and delight.
The physical album felt weighty and expensive, with a glorious color photo of her family covering the entire front. Opening the book made her tear up.
Pictures she had never seen, words she will never forget.
There were photos she had never seen before and so many of her favorites. Each page held a voice: handwritten letters, printed memories, and video messages that played right beside the page.

Contributors can record a video message. We print a private code beside their letter — scan it and their voice plays, right there next to the page. The link is unlisted, so only whoever holds the book can open it.
