A deep love story
Lucile's story
For my mother's sixtieth birthday, my siblings and me made a book. We searched pictures from when we were young, and we recreated them. It took us a lot of time because we had to find clothes that were similar to these we were wearing on the photos, and places too, to recreate the entire scene.
We gave her the gift on her birthday. We were all reunited in the garden. The sun was here. We brought the book to my mom. She was almost crying already when she was reading the first page.
She looked at all the pages, all the photos we put in the book with a great attention. It was so touching, because she was crying and laughing at the same time.
We were all crying too. At the end, we wrote a little text to tell her thank you for everything she has done for us, for our education, for the beautiful life she gave us.
It was an incredible moment. I felt all the love in our family. Sometimes, while she was reading the book, I had a look to my siblings and my father. Everybody was touched and smiling, everybody was happy to see her happy. I think it was one of the best moments of my life and that is why I choose it.
