Love, In Motion

"Made a Her Day Too tribute video for my mom, timed to my birthday this year. Took about 30 minutes — mostly going thru old photos and picking the moments that mattered. Uploading photos and making Mom focus took just a few minutes. The song was perfect. When I showed her, halfway through, she realized: this wasn’t another gift to me. It was for her. She cried. I cried. Best 30 minutes I’ve spent in years. We celebrate our birthdays every year and forget whose day it actually started as. If you want to really tell your mom that — do this. "

"A few days before my birthday, I uploaded 32 photos and picked a song — the whole process was smooth and easy. On my actual birthday, I sent the finished video to my mom, who was 1,000 miles away on vacation. A little while later, I got a message from my dad. He’d been watching beside her when she opened it, and he said the moment she realized what it was, she broke down in tears. Watching her reaction made him tear up too. I wasn’t even in the room, and this gift still brought my parents to tears together. Thank you, Her Day Too — you turned my birthday into a moment my Mom will remember forever. ❤️"
