Valentine’s Day—filled with roses, chocolates, and grand gestures. But what if, this year, we think beyond the usual? What if, instead of a fleeting gift, you could give something truly lasting?
We believe that love isn’t just about a single day—it’s about the stories that unfold over time, the memories built, and the moments cherished. This Valentine’s Month, let’s celebrate love in its purest form: through the power of storytelling.
A Love That Stood the Test of Time
A few months ago, we had the privilege of working on a biography for an elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Kunar, commissioned by their daughter, Riya. She wanted to gift them something truly meaningful for their 40th wedding anniversary.
“Mom and Dad have everything—gifts, vacations, even their favorite gadgets. But the one thing they don’t have is a book about their own love story,” Riya told us.
So, we sat down with them, sifting through old letters, wedding albums, and handwritten notes from decades ago. Mrs. Kunar blushed as she recalled their first meeting at a college library.
“He used to pretend to borrow the same books I was reading, just to have an excuse to talk to me,” she laughed, looking at her husband.
Mr. Kunar, adjusting his glasses, smiled. “And I still haven’t returned one of them,” he admitted, making everyone burst into laughter.
Their story, filled with small joys, struggles, and unwavering companionship, was crafted into a beautiful book—a book that held not just words but emotions, memories, and their journey together.
Why Love Stories Deserve to Be Preserved
Every love story is unique. Whether it’s a grand romance or a quiet companionship, what makes it special is the journey—the shared moments, the laughter, the struggles overcome together.
But often, these stories remain unwritten. They live in our memories, scattered across time, slowly fading.
This Valentine’s Day, take a moment to reflect:
What’s the story of your parents’ love?
What’s the one moment in your relationship that defined your journey?
If you had to write a chapter about your love, what would it say?
The Perfect Gift: A Story That Lasts Forever
Instead of a traditional Valentine’s gift, why not capture the story of your love—or that of a couple you admire—in a timeless biography?
Here’s how you can start:
1️⃣ Write a Letter – Handwritten letters never go out of style. Write about your journey together, the first time you met, or your favorite shared memory.
2️⃣ Collect Old Memories – Dig through old messages, photographs, or notes that hold special meaning.
3️⃣ Record a Conversation – Sit down with your partner and talk about your journey together. You’ll be surprised how many forgotten moments resurface.
4️⃣ Create a Love Journal – Document the small, everyday things—inside jokes, favorite meals, little habits that make your love unique.
