You Said It!

June's letter is ready. All she has to do is sit back and listen to me read her story to her. She's excited, nervous and totally unsure of how everything could have possibly come together. For me, it's thrilling!

As I read her letter, June quietly takes it in.

After I say “Love, Mom”, there's a pause before a wholehearted, "Wow.”

"Hearing you read it to me, I kept thinking, "Did I say that?" I know those words came out of head and my heart and it feels great."

Yes, you said all that.

The storyteller's words and voice are essential. That's who you want to hear and see!

The tone of these letters isn't stiff. Far from it. Instead, each letter is sounds like the person who is telling the story. Mom's phrasing, granddad's colloquialisms and aunt's humor are all there. In case you're wondering, expletives have made their way to the pages many times.

"We loved the letters. You captured my parents' spirit. We appreciate that you didn't erase their intention or voice. It felt very real to who they are." ~ Amie

Clients are always amazed to hear the richness of their lives laid out in front of them, in their voice and their words. It's stunning and they're incredibly proud - as they should be - of what they've put together for their family.
