I am adjusting to life without my wonderful wife, who passed into Paradise on December 5, 2025.
I have been sorting boxes of old photos and documents, deciding what to do with the contents. These are things that we have kept, because they are attached to precious memories. Judy has sometimes joked about me being a "packrat" who keeps things that are no longer needed. But I suspect that she has said the same thing to her reflection in the mirror many times. 😀
Judy said that her career was to be a fulltime wife and mother. But Judy's family was more than her "career ", it has been her "purpose" and her "mission". I feel that way too. Our children's experiences have also been our experiences. As the children have grown up and left home, we have kept their ribbons and certificates and other awards and honors. And we have boxes of old photos. What will become of these when I move to the spirit world?
My family history research can be found on various websites, but by far the most complete is at FamilySearch.org.
I will upload the best photos and documents to FamilySearch Memories where they can be enjoyed by future generations of our family.
I am somewhat of a photo fanatic. And I have been amazed at how easy it is to fix photos at MyHeritage.
Church members can get a free account with myheritage.com by using this link
https://www.familysearch.org/en/access/myheritage (if they don't already have one), and use the link https://www.myheritage.com/incolor to quickly colorize black and white photos or restore the color of faded or discolored photos. And after doing this hundreds of times, I just discovered that the Enhance feature can often sharpen blurry photos to make them better.
Maybe give it a try.
What are your plans for the special photos and documents that you have?
