Language therapy,
quietly powerful

My Mother has been a shining light in our family, extended family and our community for as long as I’ve lived. From the library of Mater Dei High School to the aqua aerobics class at any number of LA Fitnesses, 12+ person sleepovers to pizza parties in the park, she is loved anywhere someone is lucky enough to meet her. She’s the type of person to make friends with you while you’re standing in a line, and it doesn’t even have to be that long. When my father’s colleague casually mentioned that spicy food helps induce labor, and his wife was past her due date, Mom invited them both over and made the spiciest meal I’ve ever had from her kitchen; 12 hours later, the wife was in labor.

That’s honestly just one of a million stories I could tell, but the truth is, if you knew my mom you had your own stories and cherish them as I do mine. Her warmth and kindness was only matched by a stern tone when stepping out of line. The volume of her voice is the reason why everyone in our bloodline has to be told to quiet down all the time. Her disease may have robbed her of a lot, but the booming laughter and love she exudes will never diminish. We hope this app helps you hold onto those special parts of your loved ones as well.
