As a mom, watching my son David reach this milestone—his high school graduation—was an incredibly emotional moment. It felt like I was holding his tiny hand just yesterday as he walked into kindergarten for the first time. Now, here he was, ready to take on the world.

I wanted to give him something special, more than just a graduation card or a gift that would eventually be forgotten. I wanted to show him how proud we were of him in a way he would always remember.

That’s when I created a video greeting card—a heartfelt tribute to his journey. Using the app, I gathered messages from family, childhood friends, and even a few of his favorite teachers. Some shared words of wisdom, others recalled funny school memories, and his little cousin even recorded a sweet message saying, “I want to be like you when I grow up!”

To make it even more special, I included clips from his first day of school, home videos of him learning to ride a bike, and snapshots from his senior year—his football games, prom night, and the moment he received his college acceptance letter. I added his favorite song in the background and finished it with a personal message telling him how incredibly proud I was.

“Mom, this is the best gift ever,” he said, pulling me in for a hug.

Some moments deserve more than just words. With a video greeting card, memories last forever. 🎓❤️
