My assignment? To find four pictures for a Craft at Bible study. I sat down on the floor in front of My cabinet and rummaged through My old photos. Many were stacked on top of Boxes waiting to be filed, some Still tucked inside their drugstore Envelopes. The images ranged from pre-marriage and Grandbaby days to post Jack days. Few activities are more nostalgic to me Than perusing pictures, being reminded of Occasions I'd forgotten. And they all captured happy moments. I don't have a category in my box for Sad ones. Folks now a days quickly swipe through Thousands of pictures on their devices. But I prefer holding the old prints with my Fingers, examining each detail to determine The setting. And then I turn it over to see whether I Jotted a date on the back. Usually not. I find myself clutching special ones to my Heart, like the last one of Jack and Me before he died. It was taken on his birthday. And I find that even happy moments bring tears. It was difficult to narrow my selection to Just four, but I managed. And I stashed all the other photographs back into The cabinet where they will stay until I'm Brave enough to tackle them on Another day. |
