I am absolutely crushed.

My computer totally crapped out and I had to 'repair' it, which I thought would be exactly that: a repair of the damaged files. But no, it completely formatted my system and reinstalled everything... meaning I've lost a year's worth of photos of Ben. I'm so so so incredibly upset. Fortunately I have a few uploaded to other places, but tonnes of photos that I'll never get back, from our visit to Cape Breton, one with my Uncle Archie (who recently passed), Ben's 2nd birthday, his 2nd Christmas... and so many more. I just feel sick about it. :*(
