Does anyone still have old pictures and notes from high school sweethearts?

I do have a tin of letters from my first husband, my dad, and other special people – somewhere. Not quite sure where it is now.

I have one trunk which mostly has letters from my first ‘real’ boyfriend . We wrote from age 13 to 24/25. He died a few years ago. I’m going to scan some photos and letters and send them to his sisters and mother. One of his sisters will share them with his children who don’t know that much about his teens/20’s .

No, but…I got in touch with my high school crush after 28 years back in 2004 and we had a wonderful 2 year fling. We are still friends, but he wasn’t as dreamy the second time around. haha

Yes but they are at a parents storage room.

I actually just found them again this year. I went through them, then shredded them. I’m 58, too.

Yup, I’m by no means a hoarder but I do save some special things like that.

I don’t have any exes.

Hubby has some pictures of old girlfriends. Doesn’t bother me; I know there was a life before Seek.

I do. A small box full of letters and notes from past loves.

I have pictures but I got rid of the letters/notes a long time ago. I do have some mementos from my college sweetheart as he became my future ex-husband :p

No, and I’m glad I don’t have anything to remind me of high school. It was a hell of a time, full of bullies and heartbreak.

I have photos that I’ve taken around the world with me and even gone back to my parents to collect, but the ‘shoe box’ boyfriend material was thrown out by my evil sisters when my parents put my child hood home on the market and sold it. I was living out of the country at the time. I even joked that, for months, my parents never even sent me their new address. I did have a bit of memory stuff packed into my photo albums, so I think it’s enough. I didn’t need the silk flower corsage from Menominee’s Homecoming or the ticket stubs from movies or playbill from Lil’ Abner.

Coloma…I too got back in touch with my high school sweetheart
4 years ago and we talked 2 years before I went to see him.
Yep he wasn’t the “football allstar” I remembered but I was glad
I found that out. He was disappointed in ME because I couldn’t
put my hair up in a pony tail! BTW he had been married 4 times.

I have a helluva tale to tell but I ain’t telling it here.

Yes. They are kept in a box, that I almost never look at, up in the attic. They are part of my life, part of what made me who, and how, I am. There’s no need to throw them away. They’re not hurting anybody. It would be different if I had them out in plain site, looked at them on a regular basis, pined away over them, or was flaunting them in someone’s face, that’s a bad sign. But simply keeping them, I think is perfectly fine.
