It used to be you could find a box of photos or keepsakes that you inherited to look back on how things were or when you were a kid. Now, most of that is stored on phones, and most parents probably don’t think to share or save them in a way to be passed down in the future.

when my wife died, i was 32. the kids were 7, 8, and 10. there are tons of physical pics. but looking back at pics from almost 20 years ago now… sure i am gonna send each kid a usb key but… if i lost them i still have my memories. i wish however i took more video. i miss her voice. i am sure the kids do too.

but if i lost the media, frankly whatever. i already feel the loss daily anyway so … 🤷‍♀️

    Memories fade though. Looking through old photos can help keep them alive. Especially when you've lost someone. Believe me I know.

    Old photos are something people don't always realize are important and special until years later.
