There’s something about a front porch. It holds a lifetime of conversations: everyday chats, late-night laughs, quiet moments just spent being together.

When someone we love dies, their seat might be empty, but the stories stay every time you share them with loved ones. We keep them alive in the retelling, in the remembering, and in the way we say their name like they never really left.

What are the porch stories you find yourself sharing again and again?

Have you considered how you'll want to be remembered on anniversaries and birthdays?

Maybe you'd love for your family to make your famous chocolate cake every year on your birthday, even if it never turns out quite like yours did. Or perhaps you'd want them to visit that little diner where you always ordered the same breakfast, sharing stories about all the funny things you used to say.

These special days will come every year, and your family will want to honor you in ways that feel meaningful. When you share what brings you joy on these occasions, you help them create celebrations that keep your spirit alive.

What traditions do you hope they'll continue? And what new ones would you want them to start?
