Well damn .... lost my Dad in 97 and my mom in 04. 32 years old and an orphan .. yeah I have issues.

My brother and I had to go through a life time of there things, had enormous yard sales. My parents were big on taking pictures and videos.

I moved here in May 2004

8 freaking tubs of pics yeah the big tote size. Anyways we basically grabbed half the pictures from each bin so we would half of what ever. This is not to mention so many photo albums.

But what I’m struggling with is I have 4 tubs of pictures.. I started to go through them many times but I just get so angry and overwhelming sadness. I shove them back in the bins and stuff them into my closet.

My daughter has gotten extremely interested in my side of the family tree and is wanting to see pictures, she’s traced names , so I need to go through and pull pics out to take with me, she won’t want the actual pictures, she will take a picture and store them, she a true minimalist

There’s some pictures I will want to physically keep but omg I can’t keep them all, I don’t want steve or my daughter to have to deal with them when I die. But what do you do with tubs of photos ??? Toss them out with the trash ? Errr burn them? Seems morbid. So yeah what to do??!

Unfortunately I had one of those “ uncles” so I worry about those popping up, so it’s kind of a mine field.

It’s something that needs done anyway , but needing to take them with me Sunday to Florida means I have unmovable time frame.

The extra pics go ?
