Preserve Your Memories

Bookends

Time it was, and what a time it was, it was
A time of innocence, a time of confidences
Long ago, it must be, I have a photograph
Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you

This is one of my favorite songs by Simon & Garfunkel. I listen to it often. It's a somber, yet beautiful & touching song with deep meaning for me.  It makes me think of my past, as well as my present & future. It makes me think about how time goes by so fast. And life is short.

I have always loved taking pictures. And I have quite a collection - from childhood to high school to college & after - vacations, weddings, showers, birthdays, holidays, & more. 

Dear friends and family have given me wonderful memories that will always be preserved in my heart & remembered through pictures.

I take pictures to preserve my memories.

I want to remember everything about this precious time with Luke - his sweet innocence, his shy smile, his bright blue eyes, his chubby little hands and feet - his laughter & his cries, the good & the not so good - it's all so beautiful & I treasure every fleeting second of this life.
