One thing I had been busy on was our yearly photobook. For once this was such an emotional task for me. Hubby was with us 11 months of 2025. Seeing how healthy hubby looked at the beginning of the year, seeing us as a complete family, in fact just seeing pictures of hubby... I was sobbing my heart out while putting this book together.

I'd planned on starting the book with a photo with four of us and end with one of only three, but JE said to put one of four. So ok, start and end with four. Hubby was using a tongkat/walking stick after radiotherapy and steroid medication for swelling in the brain.

Finally my job was done and the order sent off. The physical book arrived - only this time hubby wasn't around as usual to check out the book. And complain why I selected some pictures of him that weren't flattering haha.
SE thought there wasn't much point printing this book out. Well, for me growing up with non-digital cameras, we always had printed photos in albums. It seemed good to me to have a book to turn over pages and pass around. ONE book a year is already less than the photoalbums in my parents' cupboard! I'll probably continue this practice.
Nice photo album. I can imagine your emotional rollercoaster when looking through the photos.
ReplyDeleteI had to force myself through it. I'd already bought the photobook voucher which has a time limit. Probably better also lah to face it now and get it done.
DeleteLogically SE is right. We know this because we have to pay 💰 to throw and discard so many physical photo albums of previous generations because no one wants them. And with the current thrash laws, cannot simply throw, will kena saman.
ReplyDeleteWell I found loads of my hubby's photo albums and ended up discarding them. But ONE a year should be ok.
