A Picture worth a thousand memories

The picture of my late dad is one that I truly treasure. It’s more than just an image, it’s a precious memory that holds deep meaning for me. I have it saved across all my devices, my cloud storage, and every possible means I can think of, just to make sure it’s never lost. Keeping his picture close gives me comfort ,although I can’t see him physically, his image reminds me that he’s always close to my heart.

I have kept this image for many years now. Even when I ran out of storage on my device, I could never bring myself to delete it. Instead, I would rather remove my most recent pictures or any other files just to make space for it. That’s how much it means to me despite having it safely backed up on my cloud storage, I still feel the need to keep it on my phone and every other device. There’s just something comforting about knowing it’s always within reach. It’s not just a picture to me, i wish i can use the right words to express my feelings. Keeping it close feels like keeping him close, and that brings me peace in a way that words can hardly describe.

My dad passed away shortly after I had my first child. Sadly, he never got the chance to meet his grandchild in person. The only way they saw each other was through video calls because of the long distance that separated us. It breaks my heart sometimes to think that they never shared a real embrace or felt each other’s presence beyond a screen.

My children never had the chance to meet him, and that makes the picture even more special. I want them to know him by showing them his picture, I want them to feel a connection to the grandfather they never met, to recognize his face and know that even though he’s not here, he’s part of our story, part of our hearts, and always with us in spirit.
