I really enjoyed you boo. I lost some photo booth pictures of my first wife (who died in 1992) when my wallet was stolen. Luckily for me, the thief only really wanted my credit cards and money and ditched my wallet in a bin in the street. Someone found it and there was something with my address on it and they sent the wallet back to me. I had been distraught at the thought of losing the irreplaceable pictures and know exactly how you felt about the pic of your mum. I am glad you got yours back too - albeit in a different way. I make no admissions about my tendency to hoard items.
LilKati, Great idea. I have started doing just this. It certainly is important and there are some amazing tools at our disposal with which to do this. Thanks,
So glad you found the pic. she was beautiful. That boo really touched a nerve with me, a subject very close to my heart. You really should archive those memories for @minimentally, maybe you could add to his life record by scanning all the old photos you can lay you hands on, even if it doesn't seem much its where he came from.
I found a suitcase full of photos going back decades in my in-laws attic, it took me 3 months to scan the lot and over a year to label them all, but its been worth it. They have 3 children & 8 grandchildren but when they are gone only one person would inherit the lot and probably wouldn't have a clue what they were looking at half the time, another generation on and the chances are it would all be lost. Oddly, their children showed no interest in having a copy of the archive but the grandchildren, all teenagers, have all been in touch asking for their own copies.
My Dad's family has nothing beyond my grandparents as everything was lost in a house fire during the 1960s and now that side of the family are all gone it feels like a piece of me is sort of missing. Even if @minimentally isn't interested when he grows up, his kids probably will be.

Wow she was a beautiful woman. :-) I used to save birthday cards, but I've moved to smaller places over the years, so I've lost them.
