I’ve always loved photographs. As a kid, I used to rifle through boxes of photos regularly (especially on rainy days) and the memories would come flooding back with every photo I pulled out…
These memories are invaluable to me. And I’m guessing the same is true for you.
That photo of you sitting on your dad’s shoulders when you were small.
The photos from the last Christmas you had with your grandparents.
The hilarious moments from that beach trip with your best friend.
I love photos that make me feel, or make me remember a feeling. A laugh. A kiss. A sweet look. A hand squeeze. Tears. The strong arms of an embrace. The goofy photos of friendship. They all help me remember how I’ve loved and how I’ve been loved.
And that’s what I want to give you.
I think these memories help carry us through the hard times. They remind us of what we’re fighting for when things get tough. On the days when our “for worse,” “in sickness,” and “for poorer” vows come into play. When suddenly someone in your family isn’t around anymore or you’ve moved away from your best friend.
The excited love of being engaged. The joyful love of your wedding day. The deep love of years of marriage. The amazing love of bringing a new life to this world. The strong love of family…
It’s all worth investing into and remembering.
