I just audibly gasped. I don't even know what I would do.
I know. I'm so paranoid about my photos (although I guess not enough to ensure they were backed up properly) that when he would transfer my photos off my iphone onto my computer I would ask him 1 meeeellion times to be very careful and double check he's doing it right, etc. I am not good at transferring things and backing them up, which is why he makes me/does it for me. I have told him repeatedly to not touch my photos, etc. because they are so important to me. He knows this.

I would be livid! My husband almost lost over 5000 images a few weeks ago... He promptly bought a brand new 1TB hard drive to back up on, and now the computer is set to auto backup every hour.
There may still be hope! Does your system copy itself? Can you do a recovery? Go to a computer guru! Nothing is ever truly 100% deleted

I don't have the laptop in my possession anymore (DH's niece has it and lives in another province) but I'm going to arrange to have it taken to a computer store.
I figure I'm out about 5000 images too. I keep remembering more and more I didn't see during my search last night. It's probably about 2 years worth to be realistic.

That sincerely blows. I hope they can recover most (if not all) of them.

I hope they can recover them! Did you share the family Christmas photos with anyone? Email to family? Hopefully the most important are floating around somewhere.

I didn't put any photos of my nieces and nephews or other family members on IG for privacy and I rarely use FB now.
Aw man, that sucks. Years ago my H lost a whole passel of photos from the year running up to our engagement (this was back in 2002 so nothing was really uploaded). It still upsets me when I think about it.
