The pictures were missed, I always love the approaches you give them. They are all excellent, I always told you so, even if you dismissed them at first.
There are points in history that deserve to be remembered because there is a lot of effort and dedication in them. Others because they are important events. I don't usually buy myself something to remember them, although I have some things... like rings for example, and not only from special events, but they are special gifts at specific moments.
An example is a ring that the first student I had gave me... and it was hers.
It's nice to have some keepsakes that have a deeper meaning than the value itself. A nice gift to get from a student.
It was a nice gesture, he just took it off his finger and gave it to me. Now it is the memory I have of her.
