These two articles make me grateful for my mom. Her whole life, even before she met my dad and had us kids she was always recording her life and her families lives through film. Her obsession has only progressed with the progression of electronics. She hasn’t missed a photo opp. at a family get together, birthdays, weddings, If you can think it she’s recording or taking pictures of it. I remember one time asking her why she takes so many pictures and she could only smile and tell me I’ll appreciate them one day when I’m a grandmother and want to see my mothers face and remember those precious moments when my babies aren’t so precious anymore. I laughed and didn’t think about it, but now she creates projects for herself. She goes through old pictures of my grandparents, scanning them and saving them to a drive. This habit comes in handy especially since my grandparents passed away. We’ve used her photos at their memorials and many have complimented on the photos. I would be able to lay out family photos from where it all started to now. I’m sure the nostalgia of time will bring tears of all types of emotions.
