Out of the blue, my mother received a package from my dad’s office this summer.\u00a0 It contained a CD of personal photos they had saved from Dad’s computer.\u00a0 What an amazing and thoughtful gift from dad’s co-workers. What a reminder of the man we lost nearly two years ago.<\/p>\n

The vast majority of the photos on his computer were of family members, and most of these pictures we’ve all seen before.\u00a0 Pictures of each of us kids, weddings, and grandchildren – Including this picture of me, with my niece and nephew, at my wedding five years ago tomorrow<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Judy<\/a><\/p>\n

But the really interesting photos I had not seen before.\u00a0 These were photos of my dad from his tour of duty in Viet Nam in 1968.<\/p>\n

It’s so interesting to look at the contents of someone’s computer.\u00a0 There is so much evidence of who we are lying around in those files.\u00a0 It would be easy, of course, to jump to conclusions about a person’s values, or who they are, based on their computer files.\u00a0 But that wouldn’t be quite fair.\u00a0 For instance, if a person wasn’t represented in photographs on the computer, that wouldn’t necessarily mean that the person was unloved, or unimportant.\u00a0 But, like poking around in someone’s bookshelves, or pantry, or closet, maybe we can find a little extra insight.<\/p>\n

The photo I’d really like a little insight on is this one.<\/p>\n

I would just love to know the story behind this.\u00a0 I’m sure it involved a lot of laughter.<\/p>\n
