For my parents 50th anniversary, I wrote to many of their friends, asking them to send letters, poems, notes, memories, old photographs, whatever they wanted to contribute to a book that I then compiled for them. This turned out to be a wonderful gift-- so many incredible things were sent- even old HS photos of my mom, photos from dinner parties from decades ago… My dad and I looked through the book again this past fall, as my mom died a year ago. Unfortunately, several of the folks who sent contributions to the book have also passed away. It was very touching to see/read all the things people wrote, and is a memory/gift my dad cherishes.
