| Def my dog. Everything else is replaceable. |
| Kids are not a possession. |
| My son's blankie. He's had it since birth and is nearly 8, sleeps with it very night and always says how much he loves it. Unlike Linus he doesn't drag it everywhere but he would be devastated if it were gone. |

Photo albums (multiples), and jewellery.

| I'd say my cats and my dog, but it seems more like I'm their possession than the other way around. |
| If I could only save one material thing from my home, it would be my dining room table. My grandfather made it |
| Of course, everyone would treasure kids and pets, but that's a lovely memento of your mom, OP. Thanks for sharing. |
Ha! Yes, kids and pets don't count. Obviously. This is like when som of my religious friends say they would bring "The Bible" as their one desert island book. Nice, but not the spirit of the game! I have a hand-carved olive wood Nativity set that my dad purchased in the Holy Land when he was in the navy. He later made a mahogany box to store it in. My family would find my charred corpse trying to lug that heavy thing down the stairs.

This post geared me up. My parents are overseas. I treasure our old family albums and will bring all of them here after they are gone. I hope it will take years

| My house was hit by a tornado and completely destroyed. The one thing I searched for and took with me the night it happened was my brothers funeral flag. He was killed in combat when I was 13 and they presented the flag to me rather than my father at the funeral. I never would have thought that would be it, but standing there looking at what used to be my home it was the only thing that came to mind. |

| My late mother's rings and some things with her handwriting on them. |
| In a fire, I would first grab my mouth guard, then my kids! |
