Yeah, there were a lot of pics of special times and places in that box. Fortunately, I had a lot of other pics in an album inside where it did not get taken. We had just moved into a new apartment and my (ex)wife left the lock off the storage compartment one afternoon. And the next morning when I went out to get something there was nothing left. There wasn't really much else of value out there but there is still a feeling of violation when something like that happens.
I know what you mean about the nostalgia thing. My dad wasn't big on photos or journals but my mother was.
She left behind a couple of lengthy life journals and albums full of old black and white pictures. Nothing like visiting the (bleak) past to remind one how much better we have it these days. Kinda fun to think about how things might have been in the "olden days" if there had been Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and all that stuff. Sure woulda missed out on a lot of fun times if we had to spend all day on our phones or computers.
