Photographs mean sunny days picking blackberries, hugging Tigger at Disney World, blowing out the candles at a birthday party, traveling to London for the first time with my family, being silly with best friends...memories. Photos are my way of remembering the past. Sure I can remember memories in my mind, but photos last longer than a life time, plus they can be shared. Yes, it is definitely a way to share special or fun moments. My aunt is always sending us photos of my cousins. Since they live far away and we don’t see them often, it is nice to see them grow up.
Photos just make me happy :) There is no better feeling when you find a photo from years ago with friends. It is a little surprise in my day and it always puts a smile on my face.
About a year ago, a friend from Texas (I used to live in Texas, but I’ve lived in Michigan for about 8 years.) found a photo of me and her when we were about 8. We had not talked for years. So, she sent me a message saying she had found the photo, thought of me, and wanted to see how I was doing. So, in a way, photos also bring people back together or keep them in touch.
Photos are important in my life and I like to think that my photos will be passed on through my family line long after I’m gone. That way, a little piece of me will always be remembered.
