My daughter has pursued a second career. At the beginning of the initial class, most women who attend buy a blank photo album.
All pages begin empty, waiting to be filled with saved memories.
I had a lifetime of photos and vacation memorabilia, which I was ready to categorize and paste. I filled my multiple albums with photos of family and friends, which reminded me of relationships through the years, many of which are now gone. There were travel photos and keepsakes, photos depicting accomplishments, and pictures of nature which seemed important to me at one time. All the photos showed me things reminiscent of temporary happiness and short-lived beauty. It is wonderful to go back through the years and review delightful moments, but each heart longs for something, or someone, who will be there forever.
