Gone

My hard disk crashed.  Along with the thousands of photos, captured over the years.  The memories of childhoods, the memories of growing up, the memories of growing old.

I have learned, the hard way, that nothing in life is permanent.

I have learned that we need to be more prepared.

I have learned not to take things for granted.

And to the memories of the days past, the memories etched not in the hard disks and virtual disks of the new technological wilderness, but in the recesses of our minds and our hearts, I dedicate this photo.

Taken in some faraway land, in a forgotten time.  A time and a place where the children and grandchildren will probably puzzle over in the years ahead.  A time and a place special to only to the ones who were there.
