RE: Her Proud Companion who had never left a day, for sixteen years

What a lovely story, @iskawrites. I love how you use the unique point-of-view of the photo album to tell it. I sensed that it would see things that weren't very happy, but I was worried it was the child, when the parents didn't return to the album when the baby turned one! So I was happy to see her toddling about and keeping the album company. And then my sense of foreboding came true with the passing of the father. It's true that if anyone is going to get a full sense of the cycle of life, it is a photo album.

Thank you so much ma'am @jayna

I believe the reason we often shared our photo album with visitors in the past (past tense because I'm not sure people do it anymore) had always been to invite them to revisit those cycles of life that each of our families has gone through.

I am happy you loved the story and how the album connected with each family member until it found the one that never left.
