It’s been almost 20 years since Isabella passed away. Rather than be sad, I remember all the happy moments we shared and try keep her spirit alive. Most importantly, I want my son to understand what a special person she was. She really would have liked him.
So when Y Combinator funded 1000memories last winter, I created a memorial page for my grandmother. I had fun going through the old photos of Isabella and choosing to add ones from my childhood that elicit special memories. My plan was to write about Isabella so that my son could learn more about her through photos and stories.
Now I have this lovely book that I can read to my 2-year-old at bedtime and share my memories. I'll treasure it.
