There was something special about waiting for a photo to develop…
Holding it in your hands, watching a moment slowly become permanent.
Swiping through our phone doesn't quite have the same feel as flipping through a photo album.
Take a moment to revisit an old photo today.
Remember the story behind it… and the love that still lives on.

Do you remember ever leaving or receiving a May Day basket?
