This is a question My most treasured possession

What's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?

My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.

Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Probably a bit sappy...
...but I'd save one photograph and one camcorder tape. These small items represent two very rare occasions in which my dear, late mother allowed herself to be captured on film (negative body image, y'see). She died in 2004 at the frankly preposterous age of 52, and I miss her a great deal.

One of these days I'll get around to transferring that tape to DVD, but the thought of watching it, seeing her and hearing her voice, breaks my heart. Problem is, I don't trust anyone else to do the job. I'll do it one day, it's just too soon right now.

Not interested in clickies so much this week. Just wanted to say it out loud.

Probably a bit sappy!
Have you read some of the posts on here.

Sappy is ok.

Crappy is not ok.

That's not sappy at all. It's poignant.
And thank you for reminding us not to take our loved ones for granted x

you've also made me resolve to stop hiding from the camera so my kids might actually have some photos of their mum.

my mum
was only 54, and it was 2005. photos are one thing, but we haven't been able to look at dvds or videos yet either. far more upsetting, somehow, aren't they - maybe because it's too real?

Guys...
Wasn't sure about "breaking character", so to speak, and posting something so serious. Thanks for all of the kind words. If nothing else, WeeWitch's new resolution makes it all worthwhile. :)
