There’s nothing quite like knowing you’re giving someone the perfect birthday present, whether it’s something that person has always wanted or something you found that you know they’ll love. But the best gift of all is the gift of treasured memories. One girl, named Lauren, recently learned that to be true when her grandfather surprised her with a gift for her 16th birthday that moved her to tears.
The present didn’t appear to be anything special at first, just three 3-ring notebooks, but inside were Lauren’s grandfather’s favorite memories of her from ages 2 to 5, the best stories he and Lauren shared during those special three years.
Lauren’s grandpa titled the inside of the first notebook “Papa’s Story: Takes of a Two Year Old,” and starts it with a special note.
“Hi Lauren; I’m just starting this so someday you might read it for fun. It’s going to be a day to day record of you & me.”
Lauren tweeted about the gift, and Twitter users were touched by the thoughtful gift.

@renblankk this is an incredibly beautiful gift of love. Thank you for sharing with the world!
Lauren will definitely treasure these journals forever!
