Not that exciting in comparison to everyone else living their best life here I guess
but my dad's old friend from his HS and early adult life msgd me today. She has photos of when I was a kid. She's gonna send them to me. The gratitude I feel to her is immense, I couldn't express it properly to her. I'm so happy to finally have some childhood photos.I'm gonna surprise dad with them, he doesn't have any of me either so I hope he'll be stoked too.
This friend of dad's has done me such a solid, I thanked her so so much. I don't even care if dad doesn't care, I'm just happy to have some photos of my childhood.
She's sending them in the mail tomorrow! Physical photos! Omg omg omg!
That's fucking awesome!
That's really nice. 🙂
Wholesome & compassionate > exciting.
It's incredibly kind! She was looking for her nieces photos and found mine! I'll have to find something nice to send back as thanks!
That is awesome!
That's really nice, I wonder if there's a good way to preserve them so you don't lose them.
I'm gonna see about photocopying then, mostly so dad has them too (we both don't have any), but also so I can preserve them!
