Good morning,
First let me say I’m sorry for your loss.
Since I’ve never been married I can’t really imagine how difficult it would be to lose a spouse. I’ve lost most of my family and friends. Pictures, especially those of my parents keep my memories of the happy times alive.
The photos bring me such peace and comfort, even sad pictures I can find happiness. I know this isn’t possible in all situations. The pictures remind me of special places with special people.
My most cherished possession is a photo of my Mom taken in 1938 when she was 8 years old. I love the photo but looking at it reminds me of stories my Mom and Grandmother told me about her childhood. I have no childhood memories and many other parts of my life are a blur from comas due to seizures so pictures play an integral role in my life.
I hope pictures will bring you the contientment and happiness they bring me.
Jake
