Memories....some happy some sad.

Memories....some happy some sad. During our lunch break today, a work colleague and I were chatting. Somehow we got onto my ex husband. She asked if I ever bumped into him seeing as we are only one suburb away from each other. I said no it had been a while since I had seen him. Then I was on my way home from work when I got a call from him. He had come across a tin of my photos, so I called in to pick them up. I got home poured myself a glass of wine and started to go through them. Some made me cry seeing all the loved ones that have gone, while others made me smile. There was one I had been looking for on and off for a number of years, so I was very happy to finally have it. These were all very old photos, my ex husband wasn't in any of them, but it made me sad thinking that when we married we both thought we would grow old together. Have any of you come across old photos that take you back to your younger years? How did it make you feel? |

I like photos and things that remind me of certain people I encountered in the past. Perhaps I dwell on the past too much but I just like reminiscing about some people and replaying some events in my head. Good of him to call you when he found those photos.

I am very happy to get these photos, as they brought back so many memories I had growing up in England. Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we had not moved to Australia.

Yeah, recently was hunting for a specific photo, found a folder on my computer with pics I had selected to put on a digital frame when my son went away to college. There were some showing happier times in my marriage. Made me sad, not because I miss my ex, but because they were pictures i loved of my kids, and i dont want to see the pics because the ex is in them...

A couple years ago I found a box of pics from the early 80s, including some of my g/f at that time. A month or so later I got curious and Googled her and found her phone number. I called it a couple time but no answer. I tried again a while later and it was her daughter's number actually. But she was visiting her mom (my ex) that day so we talked some. We keep in touch now. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

That is a good story. Glad you found them. Unfortunately taking photo's was hardly thought of in our youth. I would love to have photos of so many of my fond memories. We lived it without documenting it!

Thanks for popping in. I did enjoy looking at the old photos. some were of me when I was a baby and a toddler. Also some of my brother and sister among so many other beautiful memories. I'm glad you found your old ones you thought were gone.  How wonderful you have found the love of your life. Don't forget to take photos. lol

Are you able to crop your ex out of the photos so you can still enjoy looking at your children?

I'm glad I have so many photos, but unfortunately, my mother hated having her photo taken, so I have so few of her, but she's in my heart so will never be forgotten. My children never got to meet her, as she died at a very early age, so I'm glad I have a few to show them. I think the saddest one is being surrounded by loved ones just before we left for the airport to come to Australia from England. Sadly when we went back to England for our first visit only a few years later, so many loved ones had passed.

Thanks for popping in. Hopefully one day you will be strong enough to go through them. I lost a very close friend almost two years ago. I'm still unable to re read some of the emails we exchanged. I do have two photos in frames, but not been able to go through the many he sent me, plus the video of him. Maybe like you, one day I will be strong enough.

We lived it without documenting it! Back when we were younger it's true, not many photos were taken, that's why I treasure mine so dearly. I have made up for it by taking so many of my children through different stages of their lives. When we had threats of bushfires and there's been plenty, the first things I packed were my photos. Last year, I kept a few photos of them and gave them the rest, so it was up to them to keep their own record of life. Now I can pack my things. lol

I don't have many old photos. So much happened in the years coming up to my husband's death that I didn't want those memories. Soon after he died I took out all the photos, told the children to take ehatever they wanted then I destroyed the rest. On his anniversaty and on Father's Day one of the girls puts up photos of him on FB...It hurts but I say nothing. ~~Anais Nin~~

I gave my wedding albums to my two children, also other photos of their father. I did keep a couple but not many. Are you able to crop your ex out of the photos so you can still enjoy looking at your children?  My kids have our weddinh photo album too. Eventually, they may want to look at them.

How lovely you were able to re connect. Any chance of meeting up to see if anything happens? When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

It's possible. She isn't terribly far away, but I don't think she is ready for that.

You could always get some funny stickers that cover his face so you can still see your kids. I love that idea! I'll be on the hunt now for some funny stickers for that job!!!  "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

You could get some that peel off easily, then you can change them for different looks. Even BETTER!! I wonder if they have "asshole" stickers...lmao! (No worries, I wouldn't actually put that on a photo, but it makes me laugh to think about doing it...lol) "Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is relax." – Mark Black

Mine was such a mixture of happy and sad. There were a few scenic ones I couldn't remember where they were taken, so I tossed them. There's nothing like looking at and holding real photos. Just like reading a real book.All this technology is a wonderful thing, but so easy to loose precious things stored on there. Have to back everything important up.
