When our TV goes to sleep we have this app that immediately awakens…it links to all our photographs…every photograph we’ve ever taken.
The photographs appear for a few seconds…chosen randomly from a vast array…enough to stir a memory before that memory fades away.
There is no chronology to their appearance…no rhyme nor reason…if you please…
They take us back and forth throughout our lives with alacrity and ease.
Birthday cakes, family vacations…a mountain landscape…a beautiful sky
Graduations…sunsets…family…holidays…all pass in the blink of an eye.
Camping, people who have passed, grandchildren playing football on the lawn…moments…just like life…there for a moment…then they’re gone.
As this slide show plays out in front of our eyes…usually we smile…sometimes we’re perplexed…as our memory tries to catch up from one picture to the next.
Most of the time we just ooh and aah…as different memories burst before our eyes…It’s kind of like watching fireworks…exploding across the sky.
We’ve found ourselves watching these memories and losing track of time
realizing how lucky we’ve been as together through life we climb…
Which is why you’ll often find us sitting in our living room
searching for memories we’d love to keep…
as they burst upon the screen…
when our TV goes to sleep.
