A friend of mine recently passed and I found a few pictures of us when we were kids in the depths of my mom’s Facebook. We were both funny lookin kids and just seemed so happy. The comfort of knowing there was a permanent record of our time together wrapped up in these photos was so helpful in my grieving process. It was like our relationship was immortalised in these photos.

It’s funny because I used to HATE having pictures taken. I would whine, fake smile, etc but as soon as I found these photos, I rang my mom and told her I would never complain about a photo being taken ever again. You just don’t realise how much comfort might come from those immortalised memories in the future!
