Birthday

Give them something no one else can.

A birthday is the one day a year everyone already agrees is about them. Say the thing you'd never say over cake — three moments, a photo, and one line only you would write.

Start with one moment.

Three memories. One deeper thought. One final line. That's enough to make something meaningful.

A place to start

What's the moment from this past year you'd want them to keep?

From a finished Preserve

“Thirty-one years writing down what other people said, word for word, and you came home and never repeated one sentence of it. Mama, you carried everybody's business your whole life. Seventy years old and still the most trustworthy person I know.”

From Yvette's Preserve, started by her daughter Renée, with her grandson and her choir

Fragments shown from an example Preserve.

Make it yourself. Or invite the people who know them best.

  • You
  • Sister
  • Best friend
  • Dad

A Preserve is complete when one person makes it. If you'd like, you can invite a few others to add one thing each — never required.

How contributing works

Make their birthday something they’ll keep.

Give them the memories, words, photos, and voices that only you could give them.
