What is you most prized possession?

I love aquas but I don't have any because I've always preferred silver and white metals. It's almost impossible to find a quality aquamarine set in a white metal, and I know he had it custom made.

It just touched me (and still does) that he did something that thoughtful. The only time I take it off is if I'm having a medical procedure of some sort.

The aquamarine must be a very pretty color!

Of course, but DH and DC are surely not your possessions?

A diamond ring which contains my mother's solitaire - I had it re-set as a "right-hand" ring.

I have two beautiful rosaries blessed by Pope John Paul II. They were given to my kids when they were baptised. I have two blessed by Benedict immediately following his Ordination as Pope but those aren't as important despite the fact they were also gifts from the same person.

I would also want to grab the children's birth certificates. They are foreign born and it would be a nightmare to get replacements.

My hairbrush. I have had it for over 20 years and it's made every move I've made and I haven't found another like it.

Nothing, seriously. All things are replaceable.

Aside from the people and animals I love, my precious heirlooms. The things you cannot replace. A very big old Swedish Bible - and we're agnostic. Very old photos of folks getting off the boat, old lace, my grandmother's old dresses, etc...

my photo albums.

letters - yes, actual letters - I have received over the years (thought sadly, now that everyone emails instead of writing letters, I have precious little new ones since about 1997).
