Timehop tears.

On my iPad is an app called Timehop.
This takes me back up to nine years every morning. It’s required viewing for me leaving me sometimes with very mixed emotions.
This morning for instance is my account of the day David and I spent travelling through the Panama Canal complete with pictures.
Wonderful memories and ones I would hate to lose.
The downside of course are the ones from four years ago .
The slow realisation that my husband was in fact dying is now hard to read.
The picture this morning that produced tears was the view of a glorious rainbow over the sea.
I took it from my husbands room in the nursing home.
I could just erase the stuff that makes me weep but of course I can’t do that.
The pictures are wonderful.
David and me in lots of exotic places, enjoying our cruising together...they are much treasured glimpses into our past life .
As are the few pictures of our move from a house which had 104 steps up to its front door to our present house where I’m still living.
They don’t always produce tears, sometimes I laugh out loud as well.
The sight of the trip where we travelled in a small boat up a crocodile infested river where we were asked not to dangle our hands in the water as a large snap close by alerted us to the consequences.
Gosh we covered a lot of ground in those regrettably few years.
To have the photographs sitting on my iPad every morning is just wonderful. Occasionally I save one...but mostly I look through , laughing or sighing and occasionally weeping....it’s all good. Thank you God.
