And then I get over it. You see, one day, I won't be here anymore. She will read about the day I met her father on a newspaper assignment, and how we talked non-stop all the way from Wichita to Denver. She will see the stories in my handwriting and know that I took the time to write them all down, letter by letter, word by word. And she will see, I hope, that I loved her very much.
Photographs are an important part of any scrapbook.
Some scrapbookers might even tell you photos are the most important part, and that they shouldn't be crowded out by too many fancy decorations or even by too many words. I think stories are the center of any scrapbook. When you create a scrapbook, you build a record of your stories, your memories, your life, for future generations to see. Some stories can be told through pictures, but many cannot. But Hannah will know this, because I have written it down.
