MyBabbo Inc, Toronto, ON

MyBabbo (Baa-bo) is the term of endearment that my husband Mirco, of Italian heritage, referred to his loving father by. MyBabbo is part of our story that started with a simple scrapbook created to help my husband with the grieving process after the loss of his ‘Babbo’ (Dad).

Babbo passed away three months following our wedding and when our first child arrived a year later the painful realization that our children would never meet their grandfather really hit my husband. So, for my husband’s first father’s day, I created a scrapbook to keep Gino’s memory alive so our children could learn about their grandfather and their Italian heritage. It was a privilege to witness firsthand the comfort that this scrapbook brought to my husband and his family. It was even more inspiring for me to see our daughter get to know her grandpa though the pictures and memories captured in the book.
