My most treasured possessionWhat'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.

Granny's Wedding Ring.
Financial value - probably not a heck of a lot. Sentimental value - irreplaceable.
I'd love to wear the thing to be sure I could never lose it, but Granny had wee fat fingers and mine are practically skeletal by comparison. MrWitch has offered to have it made smaller, but I can't bear to change it.
My Granny died when I was four, and all I have of her are memories of warm hugs, and her wedding ring. She never got to see her only grand-daughter grow up, get married or have children. She was only 60.
More years than I care to admit to have passed since then, but it only takes the slightest waft of lavender soap to take me back to a warm, squishy lap. That, or the sight of her wedding ring, still in the original box which she kept for nearly 40 years.
Apologies for sappy post - normal service will be resumed shortly.

*Wipes eyes*Almost exactly the same scenario for me.
Thank you for that, it made me smile in a bittersweet way.
