Mom made this scrapbook for Dave’s 47th birthday. Four or five years later, he finally opened it and went through it from beginning to end. The last pages were difficult. He had to stop several times, regain himself, and then continue.
This digital archive preserves the photographs while making room for two voices: the information Mom left on the scrapbook pages, and the memories Dave recovered while looking through them. Where a date or detail is uncertain, the archive leaves it uncertain rather than inventing an answer.

Family gathering
Family remained one of the strongest threads running through Mom’s scrapbook. Gatherings like this preserve not only who was present, but the feeling of everyone occupying the same place and moment.

Dave and Adam at Whatcom State Park
Mom’s caption identifies Dave and Adam at Whatcom State Park in July 2018. They are standing together in the water — an ordinary family moment that became part of the permanent record because she saved it.
“From this to this.”
“Cute as ever and handsome still.”
Happy 47th Birthday!
Love, Mom ♡
