The last time I started looking at pictures from when the kids were little it put me in a tail spin of depression that took several days before I could quit being weepy.
Today I started to organize them again but just for 30 minutes. I cried a little but then I could see that we were really a happy family pre addiction. Oh no they can't take that away from me.

I know just what you mean. For years, I couldn't look at young pictures of my son, or those of all of us with him in them. Plus,..he was our baby,.special to us all, including his older brother & sister. I can do that now, & know that it's true,....how happy & good we all were, including him. No matter the horror of his addiction & all that's happened, nothing will ever deny or erase all the goodness that was.
ReplyDeleteNo,....you're right. Nothing can take that away from you.
I so understand this! Like Beachie I couldn't look at pictures from when my girl was little for several years. I'm better now and it sounds like you are too! We are a resilient bunch, us moms of lost kids!
ReplyDeleteI so hope that someday they will be found. God help them find themselves again.
DeleteI don't look at old photos of my family. I miss both parents and the innocence of who I was back then.
