Hi there! In Baz Luhrmann’s epic, Australia, the little boy Nullah says at the movie’s end, “that’s why we tell…the stories…so they know they are belonging to us.”
Now, you’re here because you have a story to be told. Are you getting married? Having a baby? Celebrating a friendship or family? All of these are stories and theses stories tell of your “belongingness”…of your belonging to a larger story…a story that matters…a story that connects you with people you love and want to remember… and to people who love you and want to remember you.
Your story matters. And I so love a good story. That’s what this site is about.
Wow. Incredilbe story. I wish I had some pix of our parents and knew what their thoughts were in their later years. Sad. Aging is such an inslut to the body.

I LOVED this! It is so poignant. The BW captures all the rawness of the situation. It just bowled me away when he wrote on that paper that he wanted to figure out what he was going to do with the rest of his life! At 98!!! Okay, I am a complete slacker compared to him! Thanks for sharing this. It really touched me.
