One Question Led to an Unexpected Gift

By Erica Burg


I was going through old photos in my FOREVER® account, tagging faces using the facial recognition feature. I hit a wall trying to remember the name of one of my son's old hockey teammates.

My son, Lucas, happened to be home from college, so I asked him for help—just a quick question, or so I thought.

That one question turned into over an hour of us going through pictures together. He started naming faces, telling stories, and even laughing at old memories. He said it felt like a game, trying to match names to faces and remember where each photo came from.

If you know Lucas, you know he’s not the most talkative, so having that time with him—just the two of us, reminiscing—was completely unexpected and incredibly special.

And now, thanks to FOREVER® Facial Recognition, those names and memories are saved. We’ll never have to guess again—and I got a moment with my son I’ll always treasure.

Now I’m planning to sit down with my daughter and do the same. Because FOREVER® doesn’t just preserve photos—it connects people in more ways than one.
