It's not so much for me, but for my Grandmas: My mom's 81yo mom is in the early stages of dementia, and my dad's 91yo mom has been having some other mental and physical health issues. So I made sure to visit home to give them both a hug and to say "I love you" in case neither is there when I hopefully can visit again next Cristmas.

I was sad as I saw their real faces, but also happy. Because I feel that Storycorps did what they wanted, to touch and make people not forget and make us remember the people. So thank you for the wonderful & touching work, I hope everyone find peace.
