Keeper's story
Sarah found her mother's diary three weeks after the funeral. Twenty-three pages from 1967. The rest—blank. The questions she'd never ask flooded in. Who were you before you became Mom? What dreams did you shelve to raise me? The silence was unbearable. KEEPER exists because millions of adult children carry this same aching distance. There's still time to bridge it. But not much. This journal turns "I should ask" into "I did ask"—before tomorrow stops being promised.
