Emotional Experience - Adding Meaning to Life

Emotional Experience Recording baby's first words and steps Grace (33, New Mom)
My 18-month-old said "Mama" for the first time. My heart felt like it would burst. I recorded the moment on video, but that wasn't enough. I wanted to remember the emotions, the context, what happened the day before... In Inventory, I saved the video with a [Log](/inventory/manual/en/#log) entry capturing every detail of that day.

Inventory became our family's time capsule.
Emotional Experience Preserving grandmother's recipes forever Linda (45, Family Matriarch)

I replied: "When Buddy is gone, I want to remember how happy he was." It's sad, but these records will bring comfort later.
Emotional Experience Reviving father's faded photographs Thomas (40, Son)

What will they feel reading this when they're older?

On hard days, reading these reminds me the world isn't so bad.
