This may seem silly....

....but if you are a praying person, please pray that some tech guy will be able to save all the files off my external hard drive. After we had computer issues earlier this spring, I moved *everything* to my EHD. Four years of lia sophia, 15 months of pictures of my son, all the photos on this blog (well, I guess they are safe) plus some other stuff. It's hard to say exactly how much is on there, but it's a lot. Last week it lost connection in the middle of copying something over. It hasn't been usable since. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach, as you can imagine. I'm just praying that the photos of my son will be recovered at the very least. I can re-create all the things I need for lia sophia - but I don't relish the amount of time that would take.
