And that is what I fear losing most, together with handwritten letters and my photos taken with old-fashioned cameras which, to me, are irreplaceable. A recommended solution is to put them into a file and lock it in a fire and waterproof safe. My family and I realised how precious these photos were when we were preparing a PowerPoint on Dad’s life for his funeral. I had that same feeling when I looked through and held Dad’s documents, like his yellowed and tattered birth and marriage certificates and school records. Still, I will scan these old and newer documents and seal them in ziploc bags and keep them in a safe deposit box.
