I look at pictures from the past fairly often, my kids like to see pictures from when they were 'little' (they are only 3 and 6!) so it happens a lot.
I know it was 'real' when it happened, those smiling faces...but sometimes I wonder what I would say to that particular 'me' if I could go back and talk to her, knowing what I know now...but that isn't very productive now is it?
