A Suitcase of Memories I Almost Left Behind

Forget & Remember

Photo of the author with her brother and neighbors, circa 1990?

Each photo sparks a memory that’s lurked in her mind, forgotten over time: birthday parties, vacations, holidays with family, and all those eventless moments that slowly build up a life.

Some memories begin to fade again as soon as the album closes, while some linger forever, even without a photo.
