I met my husband shortly after his mother passed away. I didn’t realise I could miss someone I had never known. I yearned to sit with the woman who raised the man I love. When we had our children, I wanted to hear the stories that only a mother holds, the stories of my husband as a baby and a small boy.

These layers of grief will deepen as my sons grow up and long to know Lindsay too. I want families to have something that gives them a sense of who their loved one is. Words and stories that are left as a legacy and connection for years to come.
