Why We Do This
A Personal Mission
"Seeing my aging parents, and knowing all the incredibly valuable lessons they taught me, I didn't want those to get lost simply because of my own brain not being able to remember them. I wanted to make sure my Dad's sarcastic humor and ingenuity, my mother's positivity and cerebral, practical problem-solving and education methods were documented and, honestly, it's just as much for me as it is them. When they're gone I know there's going to be need times I'll need to wisdom and wish they were here. Now, I'll be able to look to these, and although that moment hasn't come yet, I know this is going to help immensely."
"instafams was born from the need to preserve the real person—their quirks, wisdom, the way they word and phrase things-- but in a way that does justice to who they truly were."
"My Mom and Dad are really irreverent people. If I had a dollar for each time my Mom said "when I'm dead, I'll just be a big hunk of meat, so what does it matter? Don't spend money on me! Burn me!" and I'm not exaggerating even a tiny bit. You can't capture that kind of swagger in a photo. You need an interview that's leveraging all the power of modern AI to craft questions specifically designed to let her be herself, and my Dad be himself. After all, they're very different people-- why on earth would you give them the same interview? Custom tailored, 1-of-a-kind solutions for custom tailored, 1-of-a-kind parents. Don't yours deserve that, too?
