This is the most valuable thing I own. It's a folder of photos of my father, spanning his life from being a baby, an educator, a husband and a father. It's the only evidence of his life that will exist over time.
Those who say they'll be okay still have their folders and their albums. Those who are inconsolable have lost them. Just behind the immeasurable loss of life is the loss of the proof of life.
It's not about the art and the collectibles. It's the photos, the letters, the class rings, the eyeglasses and the things we keep to remind us that those we loved were here.
May those who have lost so much find some semblance of hope and support from their family and friends. Stay safe, look out for yourself and for one another.
