This article really hit home! I just recently had a few good friend pass very close together. At the viewing & dinner were many pictures & many stories to go with them. I never wanted my picture taken & actually threw many away. After this last year I realized maybe I didn't want my picture, but maybe my kids did! SO, I decided to stop hiding from pics and enjoy my family & hopefully when I pass they can look back & relive some joyful times with their Mom!
Also, I recently came across a picture of my Greatgrandparents on the front porch of the family home, with my grandparents, who grandmother was pregnant with my daddie...really neat, glad they took that pic. & I get to see it!
