About a year
ago, Apple said it was going away. I knew it, but I didn’t want to admit the
end was coming. Today is it. The last day iWeb, Mobile Me and a few
other services are available. Apple is not in the web site business anymore. So
we have to shut our family web site down.
Even with a
long hiatus for work and family, knowing it existed as an archive of our family
moments, our holidays and our vacations meant something. Sure, I packed it up,
but who knows if we’ll go to the trouble of hosting it somewhere else.
As part of
saying goodbye, I looked through the 24 photo albums, numerous blog posts and
updates. It’s amazing to see how much we’ve all grown in four plus years. Incredible
to look back and reminisce. I am sentimental, but my husband reminded me how
much I enjoyed creating and sharing those moments. It forced us to take
pictures and write the stories of how our family and our garage grew.
So, after
reflecting on so many wonderful moments and clearing files, it’s time to shut
the program one last time and get some rest.
Looking at
our history, I’ve gained a new appreciation for how quickly kids develop. Soon,
it’ll be time to make a plan and record those special moments some other way. Then
we can look back in a couple years and remember just how little our kids were
and just how far we’ve come as a family. Maybe someday our kids will be able to
look back and appreciate it as well.
