What is you most prized possession?

[Anonymous]

An art nouveau brooch I inherited from my great-grandmother.

A picture of me, my little brother, and my baby sister on a boat ride at the amusement park. Everyone is happy and smiling at the same time, and it reminds me of when we didn't have a care in the world.

My engagement and wedding rings, my daughter's baby book, and my box of photos. Anything else I could handle losing, but these, even though I could live without them, but would be losses I'd genuinely mourn.

My engagement ring, which belonged to my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mother before it was mine.

I don't think anyone said they would die without their prized possession. And yes, obviously, everyone treasures their family above material things. But that's not what this question is about. Duh.

Please consult Webster. Health, family, and body parts are not possessions. This thread is those of us who want to talk about stuff.

My most prized possessions are a book I wrote and a journal from my time in Spain and family photos. There are love letters from an old flame I'd also hate to lose but everything else can be replaced.

I have nothing of any great monetary value. Seriously. I have an old car, old clothes, and virtually no jewelry.

I have written in journals since I was 10 years old - those have a lot of sentimental value, but I wouldn't say they are my most prized possession.

My wedding band.

Pictures of my son.

Probably pictures from family vacations.

My college diploma.

I was the first person in my very humble, blue collar family to go to university. Working on my MA now but for some reason that doesn't hold as much sentiment as my BA.

Several very valuable pieces of heirloom family jewelry and my family photos. The former are in a floor safe in my room and the latter are on a bookshelf covering the safe. But close to a window, if there was a fire I could snatch them all together and chuck them out the window in under a minute.

Well, this question is really about what you enjoy and cherish for yourself. It could be a little candle that smells really good. A silver ring you bought at a craft fair when you were a kid. I am OP and my little family is also at the top of my list, but I have little things that I love.

I know for sure that car, house, material stuff is definitely not on top of my list.

My most prized possession is probably my house. But not exactly as a "material" thing. I'm a bit of a homebody and just love having a place that is defined by our family and that has so much history for us. Its not a particularly valuable house, and isn't at all showy. Its just where we live and I'm so attached to it.

I too kept journals from an early age. But this one captures a time in my life that I particularly enjoy remembering. It's fun to see how much or little my perspective has changed in some fifteen odd years.

Engagement ring which is a family heirloom and belonged to DH's grandmother. Will go to DS to give to his future wife. No daughters.

My grandfather's wedding ring that he gave to me before he died. I have my own wedding set that I wear everyday but I used his ring on my wedding day and wear it every year on my anniversary. It reminds me of him and of my wedding day, both of which hold very special memories.
