Which treasured photo would you jump back into for 1 precious hour if you could?

I have 2 photos that I wish I could jump into and spend 1 hour again in that exact time...
First one is when I was around 2 in the late 70's. It was a family picture with my Mum, Dad, siblings, Aunt, Uncle, cousins, Grandad and our 2 dogs. It was a beautiful summers day and we all looked so happy pictured outside the house. An American relative who came to visit took the photo and its crystal clear. I'd love to go back to that day just to be with them and talk for 1 hour as Dad has left this world now along with Grandad who is long gone...

The second one isn't so long ago, just over 10 years when all my children were small with the youngest still being a baby. They were pictured on the sofa after just having a bath and looked so cute... I'd love to pick them up and breath them in and cuddle them just the way they were when they were happy with simple things like being with us and didn't have distractions like Instagram, Snapchat etc...

Time just goes so quickly, I sometime think that I didn't appreciate the early years with my children like I should have and exist more in the moment rather than always being stressed out about things that weren't important!

A photo of me and my beloved late cat when we were snuggling up watching TV. I wish I made the most out of every second I had with her.

This thread has made me cry. I'd go back to my childhood, to any happy family Christmas where we're all together. Before my sister died, before my dad died, before my mum was poorly.

The one thing I have is that I truly appreciate every day now.

I have a picture of me drinking cocktails with an old friend I used to work with just before I left for university. He was my first grown up friend (he was 21) and we had such a laugh. We're still in touch but live far away from each other. Those were the best, carefree days.

A photo of me and my friends when we were 12 and it was the summer before we started year 8 at school. We used to get together and hang around on the little park at the edge of our estate. One day I took out my camera out to finish off our holiday film and took a photo of us all on the grass. I remember it as a time of long summer days of freedom, happiness, ice lollies, walks by the stream and reading shout magazine with no cares or worries. I only looked at it the other day and thought how young, slim and tanned we all looked. I'd love to see those faces in real life again.
