But now that both my parents are gone and my moms passing is still a fresh wound, it is certainly more difficult and a lot more emotional for me.Īlso, if I could give a piece of advice. The emotional wounds weren't still fresh, so watching them really brought back a lot of happy memories. I think because at that point my dad had been gone for so many years, nearly 2 decades.
I never got quite as emotional when I watched them before my mom passed away. Although I find myself crying a lot and getting emotional when I do watch them, especially the parts with her in it. I still watch them a decent amount from time to time, definitely not quite as much. Once I had easy access to them, I would watch them all the time,Īnd my mom was still alive at this point.įast forward to after her passing. Several years ago we had a flood and thankfully I was able to save the majority of the tapes and transfer them to digital format and put them on my computer and on a backup flash drive. We had a bunch of old home movies and videos on VHS that sat in storage for years and years that I never watched. My father passed away nearly 23 years ago and my mother passed away a little over a year ago.
