I've been working on cleaning out my photos lately. Those 1.43 readers out there that know me know that I take a BOATLOAD of pictures, and so naturally, I have a lot of pictures of Annie and I.
As I'm going through these photos, all digital, it's impossible not to take a stroll back down memory lane to the time when that given picture was taken. I have a lot of memories stored in these bits and bites on my computer.
It is also very "real" now. I have been removing these photos and moving them to another digital photo album - I guess that I'm not quite ready to get rid of them for good. That way I don't have to stare at the hundreds, if not thousands of pics I have of Annie and I every time I want to go through my digital photo album.
So it is with this in mind that I really started thinking about how with just a click of the button, all of those memories - those not stored in my brain - can simply vanish...without a trace. I guess it is just like in the real world. One day you are part of a couple, just like it has been for months and months. And then one day comes, and poof, you are by yourself again.
It is really very...final. It seems to take a while for everything to set in - I am single. It's not like I haven't realized this fact, I mean really realized it, but it is a bit more "real" now that I'm cleaning house, so to speak.
I really don't think that Annie is reading this anymore, but that's for the better. If she by some chance happens to stumble across this...know that I am very glad that we met. I thank God for our time together. You are a very special person, and you will make some man very happy to be your husband.
I guess this is all part of life. Getting new memories and photographs...and trying, in time, to forget old memories and deleting photographs.
Cheers.
Keep on keepin' on.
