How Has So Much Time Passed?

By Megan Blondeau


The other day, I stumbled across a photo from about six years ago in my FOREVER® account. One of those unexpected finds that stops you mid-scroll.

In it, my son was resting in his daddy's arms—"snuggling in" we call it. Lying next to them was a sweet dog that belonged to some close friends of ours. Since that photo was taken, my son completed his first year of college, my husband's beard is grayer… and our dear friends' beloved pup has crossed the rainbow bridge.

I shared a link to the photo with my friends, not thinking much of it—just wanting to share a memory. Their response was simple but powerful: they hearted the photo and replied, “How has so much time passed?”

That one line captured everything I was feeling too. The photo, the moment, the reminder of how quickly life moves.

It’s moments like this that make me so grateful for FOREVER Storage®. It’s not just about saving pictures—it’s about being able to find them years later, relive those memories, and reconnect with the people we shared them with.

Real moments. Real emotions. Preserved not just for us, but for those who lived them with us and those who will come after us.
