pictures & memories

Taking pictures of family and friends would serve its purpose in later days i would think. Because when someone close and dear to you passes on all thats left are pictures and memories. In the last four years or so i have attempted to take as many pictures as i can. and today i am so glad i did. even though pictures cant make you feel or touch the person but pictures can take you back to that day, the memory, the feeling, ttouch. I have taken many pictures of my grandmother who passed away a week ago today. Its pictures of the little things that we often over look. I am so glad i took those pictures because at least i know i have them to look at when i need a feel of her. These are little gestures like her eating, thinking talking. Its priceless and when the pain really sinks in which id does gradually you can look back and see the happy moments maybe that in itself will offer comfort.

Seeing a picture of her smiling brings back her voice .. watching her say no to cake when the maid is feeding reminds me of how she always shares whatever food the maid brings her. Asking us if we wanted it and sometimes she would even feed us. Thats just how special she is. Pictures of her comedic gestures reminds me of how funny she can be. Its just the little things that matter so much and thats what will be missed most about her.

So seriously taking lots of pictures is never a waste never is the investment in a digital camera because moments in life are worth capturing and keeping.
