Wasn't there a film called 'The Letter'? Trying to have a clear out and found letters to my mother from my father - and vice versa. They have been in the attic for the last 30 years, how can I get rid of them?!! More junk to keep!
This is family history! I did try scanning photos and storing them on a hard drive to save space - and then the hard drive became corrupted - don't try it for these!
@megpicatilly he's that is. The computer shop put them back on my computer's memory. This became full so I transferred to new memory stick which developed a malfunction. Shop transferred to yet another stick - think I need new laptop!
You can't get rid of anything like this. They are irreplaceable. The problem I find is that the longer you keep things the more difficult it is. It's all part of who you are.
I keep trying to reduce the amount of family photos etc...and consistently achieve nothing. I become engrossed in what I'm trying to reduce, put such to one side for keeping/consideration and move to more of the same. Haven't looked at such for years. Not convinced that it's the best use of my time right now. Pragmatism vs Practicality.
Definitely can not get rid of them...and I think they are far from junk. I wish I had little keepsakes like this. A great family treasure. Love your pov too.
Send me an email would be easier cheers
