Finite pictures

Most parents love sharing pictures of their children. How many new pix appeared on Facebook over the Christmas period, I wonder. Parties, presents, and little kids looking cute. Grandchildren. Babies. Everyone sharing the joy.

But as a parent with no surviving children, there are no new pictures. No new images. Maybe a scan from an old album, maybe a friend finds a long lost photo. But nothing new.

That is part of the particular agony of the bereaved  parent. Only one part, but pain enough.

PS. Tomorrow is Pax's birthday. He would have been 34. More later.
