Everyday magic

What does a completely ordinary morning look like with them right now?

Why this question

The rituals, the resistance, the chaos, the sweetness. The stuff that won't be the same next year.

Capturing it in voice

  • ·If a sibling wanders in mid-recording, keep going. The interruption is the memory.
  • ·Answer it yourself first, then ask them the same question and keep both. Two voices, one moment.
  • ·You don't need quiet. You need now. Record it in the car, on the walk to school, at the foot of the bed.

Want to keep the answer in their voice?

One day you’ll want to hear this answer, not just read it. Ask the question tonight and record what comes back — thirty seconds at the foot of the bed is enough.
