<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

This fuck up happened about the beginning of August earlier this year.  My family and I went on vacation to Alaska to complete my 89 year old Grandmother's bucket list wish: Visit all the states in the union.  Alaska was the last one on her list.  

Over the past few years her mobility and health has declined.  We wanted to make sure we got plenty of pictures of her along with the stunning scenery that would make almost anyone on /r/earthporn bust a nut.  

Anyways, over the course of two weeks I took many pictures.  A lot of them my Grandmother wasn't able to see at the time due to mobility, temperature/weather, or activity schedule.  

About a week after returning back home I decided it was time to start uploading the photos for the rest of the family to see.  This is where I fuck up.  I put the SD card into my computer to transfer the pictures.  A box appears saying that the SD card was not recognized.  I tried other SD cards and they all worked fine.  So I tried again and Dropbox had an option to start transferring.  I went to click no but accidentally hit the button allowing the transfer.  SD card was wiped clear but the photos failed to load into Dropbox.  The only remaining evidence that the photos existed is a folder in Dropbox titled "Camera Uploads (Selective Sync Conflict)".  

I have tried using programs to hopefully return my lost photos but the camera dies each time before the program completes.  I did take a few photos using my phone but the best ones and most important ones were potentially forever lost.
<bot>: Took pictures on vacation, got home and SD card wasn't working right, clicked wrong button, lost pictures.  I find it both funny and depressing.
