Oh, I feel for you so much! This is a biiiiggg fear of mine, to the point that I back up all my photos to 2 discs and keep one at home and one at work because I am scared of my house burning down and losing all my photos! I know, I'm wierd. When we go on vacation I usually take my laptop so I can download my photos each night.
I don't know anyone who hasn't lost photos, either left a camera somewhere (we left a videocamera with our whole Italy trip on our car & drove off!) or lost them in a flood or fire, etc.
It is sad, very sad. But like eveyone else said, you'll remember those times. And chalk it up to experience. Dh & I now take our laptop on all family trips & upload photos every night (or every other) so we're only ever out 1 days worth if we lose a camera. We also have a huge external hard drive that we put all photos on. I recently even started putting my parent's photos on it just in case (they flooded a few years back so I'm scared.)
You AREN"T ALONE!!!!
