Few years ago a friend of mine lost her house in a fire. they could not save a thing apart from what they had with them. When all was finished she was left with 5 picrures. ! silly one from one of the boys that was in the back of
the car, 1 of all the kids together in her vallet and 3 school photos of the kids. The insurance payd for everything and a nice lady gave her a photo album right after the fire (she told her You will need this). All the memories gone in 1 hour and there was no way of geting them back. She told me that she felt like she lost a loved one. She took the photo album and went to all her friends and family and asked if they have any pictures of them and if she could have them so now she has about 50-60.
When she told me this I realised that if some how I lost all my photos (I have over 5000 actual photos as on paper not digital) what would I do. I do give lots away sent to family and friends but mostly I only have 1 copy each. So I decided instead of making 1 copy to make more and as soon as I get them I give my perents 1 copy from each photo and give my sister one as well. Also I scan them and my husband keeps a copy of the disk at work. I aslo keep all the photos in one place so in case of an emergincy I could try and save as much as posible. I also keep the negatives in one box for the same reason and also if I need to re print them.
I have pictures of my son of his first haircut, first steps, first this and that and I would hate to loose them.
