Share your pictures with other family members. After the recent hurricane on the Gulf Coast, I saw them (the media) interviewing a man who was very upset because his family had trusted him with the only picture of their grandmother. His house was flooded and he feared that the one and only picture had been lost. When we share the pictures, they can be replaced if one family has a loss.
