Absolutely! Examples of great opportunities to record your loved ones are on milestones such as a wedding anniversary, birthday, graduation, religious ceremony, completing a marathon or big personal achievement, special moments such as a family reunion, 1:1 time with your grandparents to hear their stories, or day-to-day moments such as your child singing a song, telling a story, or talking about what they did that day.
