Dear Petty Theif/Probable Drug Addict,
I am feeling a little sad tonight. I am hoping for a miracle. I am hoping that you will have spent the money, and the decide that you don't need that computer. I am hoping that you will take it back to my Aunt and Uncle's house and abandon it in one piece on the front porch. I am hoping because on that computer are the last 2 years of my family's life in pictures. My babies entire life... all his pictures... they are all there. That was my Christmas project, to print off pictures, to hang them in my house and send them to grandparents.
Petty Theif/Probable Drug Addict, could you please return my memories? I'm not angry, I just wish I had them back. My daughter's first steps. My baby's first crawling. Family vacations and playing in the back yard. May I please have them back?
You've probably already pawned that computer. I know I'll probably never see it again, but maybe not. And if not, could you please please please bring it back?
Thanks,
Kari

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry! The same thing happened to us almost two years ago. All of Sariah's baby pictures and videos. That was definitely the hardest part. Thank goodness I'd shared pictures on the blog because those are now the only one's we've got (they are all saved to a google account). We now have a seperate storage drive for pictures. That really was such a terrible feeling, but I eventually found solace in the hours I spent scouring for pictures I'd sent or posted. Good luck and again, so sorry. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry, Kari. I know I was devastated last year or the year before when Stephen thought he had deleted two years worth of our pictures (Pene's entire life). Luckily, we found he had backed them up (accidentally?) and we were ok. Since then, he backs all our stuff up in 3 or 4 different places. I hope the theif brings it back, too. It was so good to see you guys! We love you!
ReplyDeleteOh Kari! I'm so incredibly sorry! I feel very keenly your pain! We lost almost the entire first year of Keitra's life in pictures, along with a year of my journal entries. Due to different reasons but the reasons don't matter when they're gone and can't be recovered. I cried about it over and over for months. We knew better--Ken has always said that anything digital that you don't have in at least two places you don't really have at all, since at any moment it could all be gone--and we're a lot smarter after our hard-learned lesson, but that can't bring back what was lost. I'm so sorry!
