Monkey Up: A Memory That Almost Slipped Away
Update: 2019-10-22
Description
⚠️ Note: This episode is from the Intentional Documentary® era. I’ve kept it in the public archive because it embodies the heart of story work: memory, presence, and the emotional texture of everyday life.
...
This short story is about a fleeting routine, a toddler’s trust, and the photograph that helped me remember it all. What began as a daily lift down the stairs turned into a tender ritual we called “Monkey Up.”
This is what it means to document from memory, not just to remember.
Topics:
- A quiet daily ritual between mother and child
- Documenting from memory vs. documenting to remember
- Why some photos hold more than what meets the eye
- Trust, presence, and parenting in early childhood
- A reflection challenge to notice the stories still unfolding in your life
