The value of memories
Memories are a precious treasure that accompanies us throughout our lives. They are the experiences we have lived, the happy and difficult moments, the faces and voices of the people who have been close to us, starting with our family. When we become parents ourselves , the value of memories becomes even more evident, as we become custodians of our family's memories, we create new ones and we preserve them for our children.
The stories, rituals, songs and significant objects that populate their childhood help to convey to our children a sense of continuity and belonging that will accompany them forever as they grow, through emotions and deep bonds. When we created the Memory Boxes , we thought it was important to preserve this treasure with care and love.
A special box for the first memories is, in fact, a valid ally, and there are several ways to fix the most precious moments of the first years together. Here are some:
Write
Letters, songs, poems, greeting cards… they all bear witness to important thoughts and events, which can be relived and remembered vividly through writing. You could also keep the cards you received on the occasion of the birth of your children: they will be a beautiful way to recall the joy of that moment even when the children are grown up, and they can help them feel surrounded by all the love that your family received on the occasion of their arrival!
Preserve significant objects
The first stuffed toy , the first blanket , some little dresses, the Diary of the Precious Everyday Life ... some everyday objects transform over time into real heirlooms, to be passed down only as a memory or to be used again by future generations. AMemory Box is the ideal place to preserve them over time!
Photographs
Our phones are full of them, but to capture and share the most beautiful moments you can print a part of them. You could dedicate a time of the year to this (for example the winter holidays), and make an album to keep for you and your children, or give your loved ones a frame with the photo of your children with them and keep a copy for your family.
Diaries and dedicated objects
There are products designed specifically to capture and preserve memories, such as Burabacio's Almanac of First Times , frames to preserve the most beautiful drawings, plaster casts of little hands and feet.
The first years of our children's lives are intense and exciting. Valuing and preserving memories helps us connect with the past, create stronger bonds with our family and live in the present while looking to the future with confidence.
