Lost photos

I’m not sure why I just started thinking of this now but I am missing so many photos of my son from his birth to age 3. I had them all on an old phone and then on an old lap top that stopped working. My boyfriend had given my laptop to a friend who fixes computers to take a look at but found out it was fried and then he never gave me the lap top back, I had asked my boyfriend to get it back for me but he never did. So all my photos of the first 3 years of my sons life other than what I posted on social media are completely gone 😞

He is 8 years old now.
