Ahh, I feel you on this one. My sister did something similar last year—posted this beautiful birthday story for our dad with old pics and voiceovers, and I blinked and it was gone. Totally understand wanting to keep those memories close, especially when it’s something heartfelt. For next time, I found this tool that actually works: Private Instagram Stories Downloader . Used it once to save a cousin’s wedding montage she posted on her private—it’s just nice to have these keepsakes, y’know?
