lost and found

About a year ago my computer got a virus that slowly took over
I had fair warning that it was going so I backed everything up on an external hard drive
And wiped my computer clean deleting all of my files
That still didn't work so I ended up getting a new laptop
I plugged my hard drive in and guess what?
It was empty!

All of my pictures were gone
My heart sank and I felt a little sick
Most of my favorites were posted on here or flikr of facebook

But I took an internet hiatus when David was a newborn
So all of his baby pictures were gone
I don't even like typing those words

Then fast forward to yesterday
I was in the attic sorting through some boxes

and I came across a jewelry box
and inside was a 8g SD card

I had no idea what was on it and no recollection of losing it

So I raced down stairs
Popped it in the laptop
And waited a second
Opened Lightroom
And pressed import and held my breath

549 pictures imported
All of baby David
Its not everything I lost

But it softens the blow oh so much!

 (This one is from the day he was placed with us at 2 days old and 4lbs)

So glad these weren't lost forever
