PHOTOGRAPHS & MEMORIES
"All I got is a photograph and I realize you're not coming back anymore." A photograph may be just a brief moment in time, but that moment holds a vivid memory of all that took place that day - before the picture was taken and afterwards. It was a day filled with joy and happiness, laughter and love. A wedding day or honeymoon photo, a son or daughter's first day of school, high school or college graduation - a best friend's birthday party or that special weekend getaway. Then suddenly, on a day always remembered, the heartbreaking news - a loved one has died by suicide. Then in an instant, the joyful memories of those photographs are shattered - replaced with solemn sadness. What do we we do with those photos and the memories they hold? Do we continue to display them or do we box them up? As time passes and the pain not so penetrating, we take out that box and slowly go through the pictures. And as we do, some will make us cry, some will makes us smile or laugh...
