Treasure Trove of Memories: Essays from an Award-Winning Alzheimer’s Blog

As we travel through our lives, we store up a treasure trove of memories. We can find physical reminders in the form of a souvenir from a vacation, a photo of a loved one, videos, a hand-written letter, a greeting card, or a thousand other whispers from days gone by. Old photographs are snippets of time we store as treasures of the heart. They are reminders of who we once were. Our brains have stored up millions of snapshots from different times in our lives. Photos can help us retrieve memories so deep-seated that we may have never thought of again.
