Day 4..

Day 4: Possessions: What is your most prized possession? Why do you value it? How did you come across it?

*

I don't really have just one thing that I prize the most..

I have a couple of things that mean a lot to me and I hope never to lose: my dad's handkerchief and a ring given to me by my parents.

My dad, as some may already know..passed away in 2006.

It was a very hard time for my family and I.

I'm not one to keep a lot of possessions for keepsake, but this I have had since the day he passed.

I don't ever plan to get rid of it..

Every time I see it, it reminds me of the great man that I lost..

It makes me miss him, but yet reminds me of my love for him and his for me.

The ring I got from my parents one year for Christmas..

It is called a daughter's ring. 

I think I got it in 2004 maybe? I'm pretty sure I was 12 or 13 years old.

It has my birthstone in the middle with my parents birthstones on each side.

It's a beautiful ring..

I love it and always keep it put away.

I value my ring because I know the meaning behind it.

My parents always have done so much for me and tried to provide for me in the best way possible.

I couldn't ask for better parents..

Other items that I value very much, are photos of my family and friends..

I love to flip through picture books and remind myself of all the amazing memories we've had.

Word of advice: Always take lots of pictures!

Pictures give you the ability to captivate a memory in the stillness of a moment..

You can only regret the ones that you didn't take..
