i have been looking though the pictures my parents have in a drawer of an old desk mostly for ones of me when i was little for a photo album and i came across one of my cousin that i will never meet because he and his dad and brother died in a Christmas tree fire when i was too small to remember. his dad was my fathers twin and i know how depressed my dad gets this time of year because his other half died during the holiday season. it made me so sad seeing this picture of this little baby boy and knowing he died before he could grow up and that i would never meet him. has anything like this ever happened to you wile you were looking through old pictures?

I have not seen any picture which could make me sad like this, but once my husband found a picture in my books, which he thought was of my former boyfriend and he became sad. But in reality it was one of my co-employee's picture, which he had given me once for submitting some application form. But my husband was so agonized that I could not even get a chance to clarify. This still makes me sad that I was considered cheating for no reason.

hmm thats not nice that he wouldn't even listen to your story i'm sorry. i have jumped to conclusions like that before but i have always stopped to hear the truth before doing anything rash.

I lost my dad when I was 5 so when i come across his photos that I keep in a safe place, It always strikes a tear in my eye. The good memories come flooding back to my memory and it makes me sad to think about how much he's missed in my life. He never got to see me graduate highschool, college, walk me down the isle, meet his grandkids... but I think what's even harder that thinking of the memories is when my oldest son who's 7, asked about his grandfather. Even though he understands where he's at, he just can't understand why he's with out his grandfather.

Draco that is so sad and I am so sorry it must be really bad for your Dad every Year and hard for him
It is always sad when Children die as you say they have not had a chance in Life
The only Photos that make me sad is of loved ones and all my Pets that have passed but there is also the good memory to go with it
In your Case there isn't because no matter what it is a cruel way

yes it is hard for him though he only shows it in his being moodier than usual (hes bipolar) but thats enough to show the turmoil inside. i also become sad when i see pictures of my pets who have passed away but i try to think about the happy times and push away the memories of their deaths.

There are lots of such pictures which occasionally crop up which makes me sad.There was family picture of my marriage which took place 16 years ago.There are so many people there who are no longer alive,their memories and the happy times I had spent with them come back as memories and really saddens me.

I have just a picture of my grandparents. It's hidden in my drawer, into a copybook. It makes me cry because I think about the day it was taken and how different everything was. When my grandfather wasn't yet a killer, a violent criminal, and my grandmother was alive, still happy.
I don't look at that picture often.

that is a very sad story and i can understand why you would keep it hidden. life does take such unexpected changes it is unfortunate that we cant have any warning sometimes.
