This is true. A friends parents house burned to the ground. At their advanced age, the only thing they complained about were all the sentimental items they lost. You can always buy a new camera, but man, those wedding pictures and ornaments aren't quite as replaceable.

Especially for older people. Back in the day they didn't have cameras as much and developing film was expensive. That wedding album might have the only photos you have of a relative that is now dead.

Yes you should do that. But it's easy to forget to do that.
