When You Think There’s Nothing to Say

When she reached out to ask about a Memory Moment, she almost apologized.

“I’m not sure there’s really a story here,” she said. “Just small things I remember.”

But the truth is, those “small things” are everything.

She told me about a voicemail her mom left, reminding her to wear socks because it was going to rain.

She described the way her mom folded towels.

How her house always smelled like gardenias from the yard, chamomile tea, and warm tortillas on the stove.

She talked about parsley, and a cross necklace, and the moment she realized she was folding towels just like her mom now.

That’s a story. That’s love.

This is what Spoken Mementos is about, capturing the moments that feel quiet but hold all the weight in the world.

You don’t need a big dramatic scene or a perfect memory bank. You just need to begin.

Because every memory deserves a memento.
