By CAROLYN HAX, SYNDICATED COLUMNIST Updated 9:55 am, Sunday, May 20, 2018 Photo: Westend61, Getty Images Hi, Carolyn: I recently came across an online death notice for an ex-boyfriend. Sadly, he died relatively young, but I’m not too surprised. He battled alcoholism, which is among the many reasons we broke up. I have a lot of photos from when we were together, whose digital negatives are stored online indefinitely (or until I delete them). I’m torn between wanting to flush them or offer them to his family, who only know that we broke up on bad terms. Knowing him, he never told them the real problems, so more likely than not they hate me. Some of the pics are from a trip he did with his dad when they moved our stuff cross-country. My ex had borrowed my camera and later told me how much fun they had and how he and his dad bonded during that long trip. The pics captured those good times. So here I sit with all these photos that may mean the world to his parents now that he’s gone … or not. It may just invite anger if I contact them. It’s been about a year now since he died, so it’s not a recent event. Do I reach out to them, or just quietly press “delete”? — Kodak Quandary ADVICE As a young man, he had to drop out of Georgetown University….5/18/2018 This woman did CPR on a parakeet.
