In the pre-internet era, this would probably arrive in the mail as a photo with a note that reads something like this:
There's something I've been meaning to tell you, but I just haven't known how to say it.
You're going to be surprised, and you're going to have a lot of questions.
I promise to tell you all about it, but for now I need to just show you.
Love, Aliy
Today we've got streaming video, but the result is pretty much the same. You're going to have a lot of questions, and we promise to tell you all about it.
