    When my parents divorced my dad took most of the pictures as he was the sentimental one. my father remarried and died shortly thereafter. My lovely step mother through out everything. I now have only 2 pictures of my dad. It is awful because my kids will never get to see him in so many points of his life.

    I don't know if you have kids but I am sure there will be people who want to have the memory of you at some points in your life.

    Put them away somewhere but I would not toss them.

    I've been there Trix. What I did was put them all in a big box, marked clearly. Then I taped it up and put it away somewhere where I won't accidentally come across it.

    I thought about it like this, they're not just my memories to throw away. They belong to my children too. It's their family history, and their childrens and so on. When I look at how few pictures I have of my grandparents, I realise I don't want the same for my future family.

    I always think of this song...


    "Photograph"

    Look at this photograph
    Everytime I do it makes me laugh
    How did our eyes get so red
    And what the hell is on Joey's head

    And this is where I grew up
    I think the present owner fixed it up
    I never knew we'd ever went without
    The second floor is hard for sneaking out

    And this is where I went to school
    Most of the time had better things to do
    Criminal record says I broke in twice
    I must have done it half a dozen times

    I wonder if it's too late
    Should i go back and try to graduate
    Life's better now than it was back then
    If I was them I wouldn't let me in

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, god, I

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    Remember the old arcade
    Blew every dollar that we ever made
    The cops hated us hangin' out
    They say somebody went and burned it down

    We used to listen to the radio
    And sing along with every song we know
    We said someday we'd find out how it feels
    To sing to more than just the steering wheel

    Kim's the first girl I kissed
    I was so nervous that I nearly missed
    She's had a couple of kids since then
    I haven't seen her since god knows when

    Oh, oh, oh
    Oh, god, I

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    I miss that town
    I miss the faces
    You can't erase
    You can't replace it
    I miss it now
    I can't believe it
    So hard to stay
    Too hard to leave it

    If I could I relive those days
    I know the one thing that would never change

    Every memory of looking out the back door
    I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Every memory of walking out the front door
    I found the photo of the friend that I was looking for
    It's hard to say it, time to say it
    Goodbye, goodbye.

    Look at this photograph
    Everytime I do it makes me laugh
    Everytime I do it makes me...

    Reduce

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Do you keep the ones that are linked to sad times or maybe better times?
    I have tossed out lots of photos from the past or physical reminders of sad times.
    I don't know what to do with a bunch of stuff I have right now.

    I have some photos that I really hate, because they were taken at a time when some really bad family stuff was taking place. I would like to throw them out, but I cannot seem to do it. I realize they are as much a part of me as the photos of good times. I take the bad ones out every now and then, and I find that the pain associated with them lessens. Once that starts to happen, I can see past the painful parts and find some good in them.
