It turns out I don’t have ANY recent photographs of me and my daughter together. I guess not much had changed in 3 1/2 years.

Gabe shared the vacation pictures online with me. I thought they were adorable as usual. Then I said: Where was Sarah? That is why Gabe gave me the link to this website. I know EXACTLY what you mean, though you realized way earlier than I have. One day,when my son was 3 and was looking at his photo album he asked me: But mommy where were you? It crushed me !!!! And ever since I make an extra effort (which usually means actually putting the camera in my husband's hands and say take a picture of me and the boys)to have my picture taken with the kids. Like you say, I want them to know I was and still am around. I also try to get a family picture of the 4 of us everywhere we go. Just wanted to let you know that you aren't alone and now that you are aware of the problem. Try to correct it. Keep up the good work. Your children are amazing.

From now on, I will try to take more pictures so you can be in more of them. One of the reasons I have not been taking pictures is that I can't see what I am shooting with the digital camera unless I get my reading glasses. I may have to go back to my 35mm. I remember the days when I was the main picture taker for our family and I discovered the same thing - the few pictures that had me in them were taken by people outside the family. I vow to not let this happen again. Sarah – I feel terrible. From now on, I will try to take more pictures so you can be in more of them.

Two other Moms both said they felt the same way and started making their family member take pictures of them already. It makes me feel better just to know that I'm not crazy. Or if I am, my friends are crazy too. Before I posted this, I sent it to a couple of friends to see if it was too depressing to post on my blog.
