As my grandpa has been in the hospital for some time & we thought he should have some photos in the room. My grandma dug these up and I enlarged them. It's amazing to see them so young - how they were before I was born I'm not sure but this shot may even be before my mom.
It got me thinking, if I could only have a few momentos of my younger life in a hospital or nursing home -what would I keep? I don't have any kids - so it would have to be my own selfiish pursuits. I suppose a photo of Wes and I kayaking -one of my butterfly shots - maybe the pups - shots of my family, especially lil sis being a ham. - and a couple of shots of wes when we are hiking. What do those selections tell about me? It's not the whole picture -there is nothing in there to indicate my time spent knititng - or anything to do with my work, or anything about food and cooking. I guess when it comes down to it either those things don't define me as much as I thought - or they just don't photograph well.
Fellow bloggers - what do you think you would choose if you could only have one photo board full of images & the few items that would fit on your bedside table to remind you of your life outside the hospital?
